~9 min

Look at the analog clock. The hour hand is between 2 and 3, and the minute hand is on the 6. What time is it?

On an analog clock, when the long minute hand points to the 6, it means thirty minutes have passed. We say this time is 'half past' the hour.

💡 Always look for the long hand on the 6 to know it is a half-hour time.
