Bears-Johnny Needs Help with Time

Johnny says that when a clock shows a half hour time, the hour hand needs to be in between two hours.  He is correct, but he can't explain why this is true.  Can you help him explain it?
Also, Johnny says that this clock shows 10:02.  Is he right?  Why or why not?
After you've answered both questions, follow this link for some more time activities!

  3. The reason why he is right is becase the minute hand is on the six and the hour hand is between the seven and the eight.Jhonny is wrong becasethe minute hand is on the two and the hour hand is on the ten.LOM
