Let's solve the problem step by step.

Task:
The worksheet asks you to
write the correct time underneath each clock, based on the description "Half past X". The first one is already done as an example:
"Half past 4" — which means the time is
4:30.
We are given six clocks, each labeled with a "Half past" time. We need to
draw the correct hour and minute hands on each clock to match that time.
---
Understanding "Half Past"
- "Half past" means
30 minutes after the hour.
- So:
- Half past 2 → 2:30
- Half past 8 → 8:30
- Half past 6 → 6:30
- Half past 12 → 12:30
- Half past 10 → 10:30
Also,
how many minutes are in half an hour?
👉
30 minutes

Step-by-step Instructions for Drawing the Clocks:
On an analog clock:
- The
minute hand points to
6 when it’s half past (because 6 × 5 = 30 minutes).
- The
hour hand is halfway between the current hour and the next hour.
Let’s go through each clock:
---
####
1. Half past 4 → 4:30
✔ Already done:
- Minute hand at
6
- Hour hand halfway between
4 and 5
---
####
2. Half past 2 → 2:30
- Draw the
minute hand pointing at 6
- Draw the
hour hand halfway between 2 and 3
---
####
3. Half past 8 → 8:30
- Minute hand at
6
- Hour hand halfway between
8 and 9
---
####
4. Half past 6 → 6:30
- Minute hand at
6
- Hour hand halfway between
6 and 7
---
####
5. Half past 12 → 12:30
- Minute hand at
6
- Hour hand halfway between
12 and 1
---
####
6. Half past 10 → 10:30
- Minute hand at
6
- Hour hand halfway between
10 and 11
---
✔ Final Answer for the Question:
>
How many minutes are there in half an hour?
>
Answer: 30 minutes
