Question

How would you write 1:30 p.m. using 24-hour time?

Answer 1

`1.30p.m. = 13:30`

Explanation:

The p.m. indicates that it is in the afternoon.
For 24 hour time, do not start again at 1 for 1 o'clock in the afternoon - just keep counting hours till you get to midnight (24 00) at which stage the clocks reset to 00 00.

So at the end of the morning the time will be:

`09:00," "10:00." "11:00" "12:00" "13:00" "14:00 ...`

Notice that in 24 hour time:

There are always 4 digits.
There is no a.m. or p.m.
The hours and minutes are usually separated by : (sometimes just a space)
The times after midday are 12 hours more than the p.m. time.

So `1.30p.m. = 13:30`
