Reading Time when the Minute Hand is at 6
The minute hand moves faster and it takes one hour to go around the clock.
If it starts from 12 and goes around to get back to 12, it means one hour has
passed. When the minute hand goes from 12 to 6, it means half an hour has
passed.
In this clock, the minute hand is at 6. The hour hand is between
3 and 4. We say that the time is three thirty or half past three.
We write it as 3:30.
In this clock, the minute hand is at 6.
