Let’s go clock by clock and figure out the time shown on each analog clock. Remember:
- The
shorter hand is the
hour hand.
- The
longer hand is the
minute hand.
- When the minute hand points to
6, it means
30 minutes past the hour (half past).
- Look at where the hour hand is — if it’s between two numbers, the time is half past the *lower* number.

We’ll solve each one in order, left to right, top to bottom.

Clock 1 (Example):
Hour hand between 7 and 8 → hour = 7
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past seven →
7:30 ✔ (already done)
---
Clock 2 (Top Right):
Hour hand between 3 and 4 → hour = 3
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past three →
3:30
---
Clock 3 (Second Row Left):
Hour hand between 6 and 7 → hour = 6
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past six →
6:30
---
Clock 4 (Second Row Right):
Hour hand between 1 and 2 → hour = 1
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past one →
1:30
---
Clock 5 (Third Row Left):
Hour hand between 9 and 10 → hour = 9
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past nine →
9:30
---
Clock 6 (Third Row Right):
Hour hand between 4 and 5 → hour = 4
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past four →
4:30
---
Clock 7 (Fourth Row Left):
Hour hand between 12 and 1 → hour = 12
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past twelve →
12:30
---
Clock 8 (Fourth Row Right):
Hour hand between 10 and 11 → hour = 10
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past ten →
10:30
---
Clock 9 (Fifth Row Left):
Hour hand between 5 and 6 → hour = 5
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past five →
5:30
---
Clock 10 (Fifth Row Right):
Hour hand between 8 and 9 → hour = 8
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past eight →
8:30
---
Clock 11 (Bottom Row Left):
Hour hand between 2 and 3 → hour = 2
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past two →
2:30
---
Clock 12 (Bottom Row Right):
Hour hand between 11 and 12 → hour = 11
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past eleven →
11:30
---
All clocks show “half past” because the minute hand is always pointing at 6. We just need to read which hour the short hand has passed.
Final Answer:
Clock 2: 3:30
Clock 3: 6:30
Clock 4: 1:30
Clock 5: 9:30
Clock 6: 4:30
Clock 7: 12:30
Clock 8: 10:30
Clock 9: 5:30
Clock 10: 8:30
Clock 11: 2:30
Clock 12: 11:30
