🔍 Step-by-Step Explanation:

#### ✔ Understanding "Half Past"
When we say "half past" an hour, it means 30 minutes after the hour. On an analog clock:
- The minute hand points to 6 (which represents 30 minutes).
- The hour hand is halfway between two numbers.

For example:
- Half past 1 → minute hand at 6, hour hand halfway between 1 and 2.
- Half past 2 → minute hand at 6, hour hand halfway between 2 and 3.
- And so on...
