Half Past an Hour
We
learnt that, one hour is equal to 60 minutes. When one hour is divided into
two, it is half an hour or 30 minutes. The minute hand points at 6. We say, 30
minutes past an hour or half past an hour.
Look at the clock. The minute hand is at 6. The hour hand is between 1 and 2. So, the time is half past 1. We write 1:30.
