When the minute hand is atthen the actual time is the number that is indicated by the shorter or hour hand. For example, just see the following:
Here the longer or the minute hand is at 12 and hour or shorter hand indicates 9. Therefore, the time is 9 or 9 O ' clock. Similarly, in the clock shown below. The time is 4 or 4 O'clock.
When the minute hand is at any number we do counting in 5 like.
If minute hand is atit showsminutes.
If minute hand is atit showsminutes.
If minute hand is atit showsminutes.
And this process goes on Let's look at the picture given below:
Here the shorter or hour hand stays between &while minute hand indicates. So the time is 01 : 20 . When we do counting infor it goes asand.
Thus the longer hand indicatesminutes.
It does mean the actual time is 1: 20 and we read it as 20 minutes past 1.
Similarly if shorter or hour hand is somewhere between&and minute hand is at 5 then the time is 2:25 and it will be read as '25' minutes past 2.
When the longer or minute hand is at, the time is read as the half past the hour.
Let's see the picture given below:
Here the hour or shorter hand is somewhere between& and minute hand is at. Therefore, the time is 1: 30 and it is read as 'half past 1'
Similarly if the hour hand is somewhere between&and minute hand is atthen the actual time is 4 : 30 and it is read as 'half past 4'
