Let’s go through each clock one by one. The instruction says: “Draw the hour hand on each clock to show the time.” But since we’re solving it, we’ll figure out where the hour hand should point for each given time.
Remember:
- The
hour hand is the shorter hand.
- At :30 (half past), the hour hand is
halfway between two numbers.
- For example, at 6:30, the hour hand is halfway between 6 and 7.
- At 8:30, it’s halfway between 8 and 9.
- And so on.
Let’s solve each row:
---
Row 1:
1.
6:30 → Hour hand halfway between 6 and 7
2.
8:30 → Hour hand halfway between 8 and 9
3.
7:30 → Hour hand halfway between 7 and 8
---
Row 2:
4.
11:30 → Hour hand halfway between 11 and 12
5.
1:30 → Hour hand halfway between 1 and 2
6.
3:30 → Hour hand halfway between 3 and 4
---
Row 3:
7.
9:30 → Hour hand halfway between 9 and 10
8.
10:30 → Hour hand halfway between 10 and 11
9.
12:30 → Hour hand halfway between 12 and 1
*(Note: After 12 comes 1, so halfway between 12 and 1)*
---
Row 4:
10.
5:30 → Hour hand halfway between 5 and 6
11.
2:30 → Hour hand halfway between 2 and 3
12.
4:30 → Hour hand halfway between 4 and 5
---
All times are half-past, so every hour hand must be exactly in the middle of two consecutive numbers — specifically, between the current hour and the next hour.
✔ Final Answer:
For each clock, draw the hour hand halfway between the hour number and the next number:
- 6:30 → between 6 and 7
- 8:30 → between 8 and 9
- 7:30 → between 7 and 8
- 11:30 → between 11 and 12
- 1:30 → between 1 and 2
- 3:30 → between 3 and 4
- 9:30 → between 9 and 10
- 10:30 → between 10 and 11
- 12:30 → between 12 and 1
- 5:30 → between 5 and 6
- 2:30 → between 2 and 3
- 4:30 → between 4 and 5
