Choose the correct equivalent of the time given.

1. Son las tres y media de la tarde.

a. 3:30 pm

It's C. The phrase "Son las tres y media de la tarde" means "It is three-thirty in the afternoon" in English.

When telling time in Spanish, it is common to include "son las" before the hours unless it is one o'clock.
