I is 1, V is 5, X is 10; a smaller one on the right adds, an I on the left subtracts: this is 9.
2. 12 o'clock
The minute hand points to the top, so it's on the hour. Now read the Roman numeral the hour hand points to.
The minute hand points to XII at the top, so it is on the hour; the hour hand points to the numeral for 12: 12 o'clock.
3. 5, 5

14. 2
The minute hand moves one numeral every 5 minutes. See where it points now, then work out how many numerals 30 minutes is.
