Measuring Time

Measuring Time

By Michelle Diaz

What is our boarding time?

An analog clock shows the time using an hour hand.

The clock on the right shows 2:30 or 30 minutes past​. The hour hand points to 2 and the minute hand points to 6.

​

To change a time on a 24-hour clock to a time on a 12-hour clock, subtract from the number of hours if it is greater than 12. For example, to change 1430 hours, subtract 12 from 14. Remember that 00 to 11 hours is a.m. and 12 to 23 is p.m.

Example:

​

1. 1430 hours

2. 0825 hours​
