How do you convert 12 hour time to 24 hour time?
- Converting time is like changing how you wear your watch!
- In 12 hour time, we use AM and PM. AM is for morning and PM is for night.
- In 24 hour time, we do not use AM or PM. We just count the hours from 0 to 23.
Examples:
- 2:00 PM:
- 2 PM is when the sun is bright in the afternoon.
- In 24 hour time, this becomes 14:00.
- 7:00 AM:
- 7 AM is when most people are waking up.
- In 24 hour time, this stays the same and is 07:00.
- 11:30 PM:
- 11:30 PM is late at night, almost bedtime!
- In 24 hour time, this is 23:30.
