Hour: 3 Minute: 12
So about 3:17 to 3:18 3:17/18 Hour: 3, 1/4 Minute: 3, 1/4 3, 1/4 means it's on 3 and a quarter passed through :)

The minute hand catches up with the hour hand approximately 16.36 minutes after 3:00 PM. This means that at about 3:16 and 22 seconds, they will be aligned again. To find this, we solved for when their positions became equal based on their rates of movement.
