Bonjour,

Answer:

1:30 PM

Il est une heure et demie.

Step-by-step explanation:

"demi" or "demie"

In the example, "demi" (
(1)/(2) ) half succeeds the noun "heure" , so it changes according to the gender of the noun. ( "heure" : feminine ) → "demie"

other example : Il a un an et demi ( he is one year and a half )

"un an" is masculine → "demi"

But, we would write "une demi-heure" ( because here "demi" is part of a compound noun. "demi" before a noun "demi" is always invariable )
