To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each clock and determine the time. The title says "Half Past," which means the minute hand (the long hand) will always point to the 6. This represents 30 minutes.
The hour hand (the short hand) tells us the hour. When it is "half past," the hour hand will be halfway between two numbers. We always read the hour that the hand has
just passed. For example, if the hand is between 3 and 4, the time is half past 3.
Let's go through the clocks row by row:
Row 1:
1.
First Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 11 and 12. It has passed 11. So, it is
Half past 11. (This one is already done for you).
2.
Second Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 3 and 4. It has passed 3. So, it is
Half past 3.
3.
Third Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 1 and 2. It has passed 1. So, it is
Half past 1.
Row 2:
4.
Fourth Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 7 and 8. It has passed 7. So, it is
Half past 7.
5.
Fifth Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 6 and 7. It has passed 6. So, it is
Half past 6.
6.
Sixth Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 9 and 10. It has passed 9. So, it is
Half past 9.
Row 3:
7.
Seventh Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 2 and 3. It has passed 2. So, it is
Half past 2.
8.
Eighth Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 12 and 1. It has passed 12. So, it is
Half past 12.
9.
Ninth Clock: The minute hand is on 6. The hour hand is between 4 and 5. It has passed 4. So, it is
Half past 4.
Final Answer:
Here are the answers to write in the boxes from left to right, top to bottom:
Row 1:
* Half past 11
* Half past 3
* Half past 1
Row 2:
* Half past 7
* Half past 6
* Half past 9
Row 3:
* Half past 2
* Half past 12
* Half past 4
