To solve this matching problem, we need to connect the analog clocks (on the left) with the correct digital times (in the middle) and the correct written phrases (on the right).
Step 1: Understand "Half Past"
"Half past" means 30 minutes after the hour. On an analog clock, this is when the long minute hand points straight down at the
6. The short hour hand will be halfway between two numbers. It is always halfway *after* the smaller number. For example, if the hour hand is between 5 and 6, it is half past 5.
Step 2: Analyze Each Clock
1.
Top Clock:
* The minute hand points to
6.
* The hour hand is halfway between
10 and
11.
* This means it is
10:30 or
half past 10.
* *Match:* Connect to `10:30` and `half past 10`.
2.
Second Clock:
* The minute hand points to
6.
* The hour hand is halfway between
5 and
6.
* This means it is
5:30 or
half past 5.
* *Match:* Connect to `5:30` and `half past 5`.
3.
Third Clock:
* The minute hand points to
6.
* The hour hand is halfway between
11 and
12.
* This means it is
11:30 or
half past 11.
* *Match:* Connect to `11:30` and `half past 11`.
4.
Fourth Clock:
* The minute hand points to
6.
* The hour hand is halfway between
8 and
9.
* This means it is
8:30 or
half past 8.
* *Match:* Connect to `8:30` and `half past 8`.
5.
Bottom Clock:
* The minute hand points to
6.
* The hour hand is halfway between
1 and
2.
* This means it is
1:30 or
half past 1.
* *Match:* Connect to `1:30` and `half past 1`.
Step 3: Verify the Matches
Let's double-check the pairs to ensure no mistakes were made.
- Clock showing 10:30 matches "10:30" and "half past 10". (Correct)
- Clock showing 5:30 matches "5:30" and "half past 5". (Correct)
- Clock showing 11:30 matches "11:30" and "half past 11". (Correct)
- Clock showing 8:30 matches "8:30" and "half past 8". (Correct)
- Clock showing 1:30 matches "1:30" and "half past 1". (Correct)
All clocks have been correctly identified and matched to their corresponding digital time and phrase.
Final Answer:
Here are the correct connections for each row from top to bottom:
1.
First Clock (hour hand between 10 and 11): Connect to
10:30 and
half past 10.
2.
Second Clock (hour hand between 5 and 6): Connect to
5:30 and
half past 5.
3.
Third Clock (hour hand between 11 and 12): Connect to
11:30 and
half past 11.
4.
Fourth Clock (hour hand between 8 and 9): Connect to
8:30 and
half past 8.
5.
Fifth Clock (hour hand between 1 and 2): Connect to
1:30 and
half past 1.
