Hour/half-hour/quarter-hour clocks

Worked solution

1. 1

   Read the long hand at six.

   $30\text{minutes past}$

   Six is halfway around the clock from twelve, so it shows half an hour past.

2. 2

   Read the short hand between seven and eight.

   It has passed seven but has not reached eight, so the hour is seven.

3. 3

   Combine the hour and minutes.

   $7:30$

   Seven thirty is half past seven.

Worked solution

1. 1

   Read the long hand at nine.

   $45\text{minutes past}$

   There is one quarter-hour left before the long hand reaches twelve.

2. 2

   Read the hour already passed.

   The short hand is after ten and nearly at eleven, so the digital hour is ten.

3. 3

   Give the two time names.

   $10:45$

   Ten forty-five is quarter to eleven, the next hour.
