        Telling the time – Half Past

        We know that minute hand complete 1 round of the clock in 1 hour i.e 60 minutes. In half an hour, the minute hand completes only half of the round. This means minute hand takes 30 minutes to take half round of the face of the clock which is just half of the time taken by minute hand to complete 1 round.

        So, half an hour = 30 minutes.

        Or

        We can say the minute hand takes 30 minutes to come to 6.


        Reading time half past

        Illustration 1:


        Here, hour hand is half way between 10 and 11.The minute hand is at 6. So, time is 10:30 or 30 minutes after 10 or half past 10.




        Illustration 2:


        Here, hour hand is half way between 7 and 8.The minute hand is at 6. So, time is 7:30 or 30 minutes after 7 or half past 7.


        Illustration 3:

        Here, hour hand is half way between 3 and 4.The minute hand is at 6. So, time is 3:30 or 30 minutes after 3 or half past 3.
