It takes $5$ seconds for a clock to strike $6$ o'clock beginning at $6:00$ o'clock precisely. If the strikings are uniformly spaced, how long, in seconds, does it take to strike $12$ o'clock?
$\textbf{(A)}9\frac{1}{5}\qquad \textbf{(B )}10\qquad \textbf{(C )}11\qquad \textbf{(D )}14\frac{2}{5}\qquad \textbf{(E )}\text{none of these}$
Between six strikes, there are five intervals of space. Since it takes five seconds total, each interval is one second long. Therefore, $12$ strikes will take $11$ seconds. $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}}$.
