What Time Is It ?

In telling time on an analog clock, the long hand points to the 12 which represents the hour, in this case, 11. The short hand points to the 11 which represents the minutes.

In this scenario, the long hand being on the 6 indicates it is half past the hour, and the short hand being between two and three confirms the hour as two. Therefore, the time is half past two.

The question describes the time of half past seven where the long hand is on the 6 and the short hand is between the 7 and 8 on a clock.

In an analog clock, the short hand pointing to 9 and the long hand pointing to 12 corresponds to the time being nine o'clock.

In the given scenario, the long hand at 6 signifies the half-hour mark while the short hand between eight and nine signifies the 8.30 position on the clock, hence the correct answer is 'Half past eight'.

In this case, the short hand on 3 represents the hour hand, and the long hand on 12 represents the minute hand. This configuration indicates the time of three o'clock.

This question is asking for the time when the minute hand is on 6 and the hour hand is halfway between the 6 and 7 markings on the clock, which signifies half past six.

In an analog clock, when both the long hand and short hand point to 12, it indicates the time as twelve o'clock.
