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.
