Let’s go clock by clock and figure out the time. Remember:
- The
shorter hand = hour
- The
longer hand = minutes
- When the long hand points to
6, it means
30 minutes (half past)
- When the long hand points to
12, it means
00 minutes (on the hour)
We’ll read each clock carefully.

Clock 1 (example):
Short hand between 7 and 8 → hour is 7
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past seven →
7:30 ✔
---
Clock 2 (top right):
Short hand between 3 and 4 → hour is 3
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past three →
3:30
---
Clock 3 (second row, left):
Short hand between 6 and 7 → hour is 6
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past six →
6:30
---
Clock 4 (second row, right):
Short hand between 1 and 2 → hour is 1
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past one →
1:30
---
Clock 5 (third row, left):
Short hand between 9 and 10 → hour is 9
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past nine →
9:30
---
Clock 6 (third row, right):
Short hand between 4 and 5 → hour is 4
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past four →
4:30
---
Clock 7 (fourth row, left):
Short hand between 12 and 1 → hour is 12
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past twelve →
12:30
---
Clock 8 (fourth row, right):
Short hand between 10 and 11 → hour is 10
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past ten →
10:30
---
Clock 9 (fifth row, left):
Short hand between 5 and 6 → hour is 5
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past five →
5:30
---
Clock 10 (fifth row, right):
Short hand between 8 and 9 → hour is 8
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past eight →
8:30
---
Clock 11 (bottom row, left):
Short hand between 2 and 3 → hour is 2
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past two →
2:30
---
Clock 12 (bottom row, right):
Short hand between 11 and 12 → hour is 11
Long hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past eleven →
11:30
---
All clocks show “half past” something — so all times end in :30. We just need to match the hour based on where the short hand is pointing (between which two numbers).
Final Answer:
Top row right: 3:30
Second row left: 6:30
Second row right: 1:30
Third row left: 9:30
Third row right: 4:30
Fourth row left: 12:30
Fourth row right: 10:30
Fifth row left: 5:30
Fifth row right: 8:30
Bottom row left: 2:30
Bottom row right: 11:30
