13. The hour hand of a clock moves from 6 to 10. How many hours have passed? (Answer: 4 hours)
10 − 6 = 4
14. The clock in Ka-lok's living room is 1 hour fast. It shows half past 4. The real time is half past what? (Answer: 3)
1 hour fast means the real time is 1 hour earlier than the clock shows: 1 hour before half past 4 is half past 3.
15. Ka-yan gets home from football and looks at the clock: the minute hand points to 6, and the hour hand is between 2 and 3. At half past what does she get home? (Answer: 2)
The hour hand has passed 2 but not reached 3; the minute hand on 6 means half past: half past 2.
16. Ming's dad goes out at 9 o'clock and comes home 4 hours later. When he gets home, which number does the clock's hour hand point to? (Answer: 1)
Count on 4 numbers from 9; on a clock face 1 comes after 12, not 13: the hour hand points to 1.
17. Ka-yee gets home from football and looks at the clock: the minute hand points to 6, and the hour hand is between 7 and 8. At half past what does she get home? (Answer: 7)
The hour hand has passed 7 but not reached 8; the minute hand on 6 means half past: half past 7.
18. Ka-yee starts reading at 10 o'clock. When she stops, the minute hand has gone round exactly 2 times, back to 12. At what o'clock does she stop? (Answer: 12 o'clock)
Once round for the minute hand is 1 hour, so 2 times round is 2 hours: 10 + 2 = 12.
