I'll solve this problem by examining each clock and determining whether it shows "half past" or "o'clock".
First, I need to understand what "half past" and "o'clock" mean:
- "O'clock" means the minute hand is pointing at 12 (0 minutes past the hour)
- "Half past" means the minute hand is pointing at 6 (30 minutes past the hour)
Let me analyze each clock one by one:
Clock 1: Hour hand at 3, minute hand at 12 → This is 3 o'clock → "o'clock"
Clock 2: Hour hand between 4 and 5, minute hand at 6 → This is 4:30 → "half past"
Clock 3: Hour hand between 10 and 11, minute hand at 6 → This is 10:30 → "half past"
Clock 4: Hour hand between 8 and 9, minute hand at 6 → This is 8:30 → "half past"
Clock 5: Hour hand at 8, minute hand at 12 → This is 8 o'clock → "o'clock"
Clock 6: Hour hand between 1 and 2, minute hand at 6 → This is 1:30 → "half past"
Clock 7: Hour hand between 6 and 7, minute hand at 6 → This is 6:30 → "half past"
Clock 8: Hour hand at 2, minute hand at 12 → This is 2 o'clock → "o'clock"
Clock 9: Hour hand at 9, minute hand at 12 → This is 9 o'clock → "o'clock"
Clock 10: Hour hand between 8 and 9, minute hand at 6 → This is 8:30 → "half past"
Clock 11: Hour hand between 4 and 5, minute hand at 6 → This is 4:30 → "half past"
Clock 12: Hour hand at 10, minute hand at 12 → This is 10 o'clock → "o'clock"
Now I can provide the complete answer for all 12 clocks.
The correct answers are:
1. o'clock
2. half past
3. half past
4. half past
5. o'clock
6. half past
7. half past
8. o'clock
9. o'clock
10. half past
11. half past
12. o'clock
