Answer Key & Explanations

Tell Time Hour/Half Hour · Grade 1 · Worksheet 2

  1. What time is shown? (clock showing 7:30) Answer: 7:30 Solution: Look at the short hour hand. It is pointing between the 7 and the 8. Look at the long minute hand.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Look at the short hour hand. It is pointing between the 7 and the 8. Step 2: Look at the long minute hand. It is pointing straight down at the 6. Step 3: When the minute hand points to the 6, it means 30 minutes have passed, or 'half past'. Step 4: Because the hour hand is between 7 and 8, the time is half past 7, which is written as 7:30. The answer is 7:30.

  2. Emma is drawing a picture of a clock for her art project. She draws the hour hand pointing exactly at the 7, and the minute hand pointing straight up to the 12. What time is Emma showing on her clock? Answer: 7:00 Solution: The hour hand is pointing at the 7. This tells us the hour is 7. The minute hand is pointing straight up at the 12.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The hour hand is pointing at the 7. This tells us the hour is 7. Step 2: The minute hand is pointing straight up at the 12. When the minute hand is at the 12, it means zero minutes past the hour. Step 3: Zero minutes past the hour means the time is exactly that hour, or o'clock. Step 4: So the time is 7 o'clock, which is written as 7:00. The answer is 7:00.

  3. The clock shows 3:30. What time will it be in 2 hours? Answer: 5:30 Solution: Identify the current time on the clock. The clock shows 3:30. Understand what "in 2 hours" means.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Identify the current time on the clock. The clock shows 3:30. Step 2: Understand what "in 2 hours" means. We need to add 2 hours to the current time. Step 3: Add the hours to the current hour. Current hour: 3 Add 2 hours: 3 + 2 = 5 Step 4: The minutes remain the same. Since we are adding only full hours, the minutes do not change. The minutes stay as 30. Step 5: Combine the new hour and minutes. The new hour is 5 and the minutes are 30, so the time is 5:30. Step 6: Check if the time is AM or PM. The problem does not specify AM or PM, and adding 2 hours to 3:30 does not cross from AM to PM or vice versa in this context, so the answer remains 5:30. Final Answer: 5:30

  4. Sophia is getting ready for her soccer game. She looks at the clock on the wall. The hour hand is pointing exactly at the 1, and the minute hand is pointing straight up to the 12. What time does the clock show? Answer: 1:00 Solution: The minute hand is pointing straight up at the 12. When the minute hand is at the 12, it means zero minutes past the hour. The hour hand is pointing exactly at the 1.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The minute hand is pointing straight up at the 12. When the minute hand is at the 12, it means zero minutes past the hour. Step 2: The hour hand is pointing exactly at the 1. This tells us the hour is 1. Step 3: Zero minutes past the hour means the time is exactly that hour, or o'clock. Step 4: So the time is 1 o'clock, which is written as 1:00. The answer is 1:00.

  5. What time is shown on the clock? (clock showing 9:30) Answer: 9:30 Solution: Look at the hour hand. It is between the 9 and 10. Look at the minute hand.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Look at the hour hand. It is between the 9 and 10. Step 2: Look at the minute hand. It is pointing straight down at the 6. Step 3: When the minute hand points to the 6, it means 30 minutes past the hour, or half past. Step 4: Since the hour hand is between 9 and 10, it is half past 9. The time is 9:30.

  6. It is 10:30 now. What time will it be in 3 hours? Answer: 1:30 Solution: Start with the current time: 10:30 Add 3 hours to the hour: 10 + 3 = 13 Since 13 is greater than 12, subtract 12: 13 - 12 = 1 Keep the minutes the same: 30 minutes The new time is 1:30 The answer is 1:30.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Start with the current time: 10:30 Step 2: Add 3 hours to the hour: 10 + 3 = 13 Step 3: Since 13 is greater than 12, subtract 12: 13 - 12 = 1 Step 4: Keep the minutes the same: 30 minutes Step 5: The new time is 1:30 The answer is 1:30.

  7. Matiu is baking cookies. He sets a timer and looks at the kitchen clock. The hour hand is pointing between the 8 and the 9, and the minute hand is pointing straight down to the 6. What time does the clock show? Answer: 8:30 Solution: The minute hand is pointing straight down to the 6. That means it is 30 minutes past the hour. Step 2: The hour hand is between the 8 and the 9.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The minute hand is pointing straight down to the 6. That means it is 30 minutes past the hour. Step 2: The hour hand is between the 8 and the 9. That means it is halfway between 8 o'clock and 9 o'clock. Step 3: When the hour hand is between two numbers and the minute hand is on the 6, the time is half past the hour. Step 4: Half past 8 is written as 8:30. The answer is 8:30.

  8. What time is shown on the clock? (clock showing 10:30) Answer: 10:30 Solution: Look at the hour hand. It is between the 10 and the 11. Look at the minute hand.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Look at the hour hand. It is between the 10 and the 11. Step 2: Look at the minute hand. It is pointing straight down to the 6. Step 3: When the minute hand points to the 6, it means 30 minutes past the hour, or 'half past'. Step 4: Because the hour hand is between 10 and 11, the time is half past 10. The time is 10:30.

  9. Noah is helping his mom clean the kitchen. He looks at the clock on the wall. The hour hand is pointing exactly at the 9, and the minute hand is pointing straight up to the 12. What time does the clock show? Answer: 9:00 Solution: Look at the minute hand. It is pointing straight up to the 12. When the minute hand points to the 12, it means zero minutes past the hour, or exactly o'clock.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Look at the minute hand. It is pointing straight up to the 12. When the minute hand points to the 12, it means zero minutes past the hour, or exactly o'clock. Step 2: Look at the hour hand. It is pointing exactly at the 9. This tells us the hour is 9. Step 3: Combine the hour and the minutes: 9 o'clock means 9:00. The answer is 9:00.
