Printable worksheet for students to practice telling time by reading analog clocks through word problems.

Let’s solve each problem one by one.

Remember:
- The minute hand on 6 means it’s 30 minutes past the hour (because each number on the clock = 5 minutes, so 6 × 5 = 30).
- The hour hand tells us which hour it is — but if the minute hand is on 6, the hour hand will be *between* two numbers. We look at which number it’s just passed to know the correct hour.

Problem 1:
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
Hour hand on 8 → It’s 8 o’clock something
So time = 8:30

Wait — let’s double-check: If the hour hand is *on* 8 and minute hand is on 6, that actually means it’s exactly half past 8. Yes, 8:30 is correct.

Problem 2:
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
Hour hand on 3 → So it’s 3:30

Again, if hour hand is pointing directly at 3 and minute at 6, it’s halfway between 3 and 4? Actually no — when minute hand is on 6, the hour hand should be *halfway* between two hours. But the problem says “the hour hand was on 3” — that might mean it’s pointing near 3, meaning it’s 3:30. In real clocks, at 3:30, the hour hand is halfway between 3 and 4. But since this is a worksheet for kids, they probably mean: if hour hand is “on 3” and minute on 6, it’s 3:30.

We’ll go with that.

Time = 3:30

Problem 3:
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
Hour hand on 7 → So it’s 7:30

Same logic. Time = 7:30

---

Problem 4:
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
Hour hand on 4 → So it’s 4:30

Time = 4:30

---

All problems follow the same pattern: minute hand on 6 = :30, hour hand tells the hour.

Final Answer:
1. 8:30
2. 3:30
3. 7:30
4. 4:30
