3. HARRY RECEIVES A TEXT
FROM HIS MUM:
“15:10?” He wonders.
“What does that mean?”
Fink, 2013a. [Image file].

4. THERE ARE 24 HOURS IN
A DAY…

5. 24 HOUR TIME SHOWS THE HOURS & MINUTES SINCE MIDNIGHT
A “24 hour clock” identifies the time
without the use of AM/PM information
that is used in a “12 hour clock”.
(e.g.: 11:00am = 11:00).
Kahlai, 2011. [Image file].
24 hour time is useful in military, travel and medical industries to avoid confusion.

6. CONVERTING 12- & 24- HOUR TIMES
LOOK AT THE TABLE →
To convert 12- hour to 24- hour time:
•
If “AM” time – do nothing, simply ensure four digits are used.
(e.g. 6:00am = 06:00).
•
If “PM” time - add “12”.
(e.g. 2:00pm = 2 + 12 = 14:00).
To convert 24- hour to 12- hour time:
•
FoundationsA, n.d. [Image file].
If time > 12, subtract 12 and note as “PM”.
(e.g. 15:00 (greater than 12) = 15 – 12 = 3:00pm).
•
If time < 12, do nothing, simply ensure four digits are used.
(e.g. 9:30am = 09:30).
