Explanation:
We need to convert times from the 12-hour clock format (with am/pm) to the 24-hour clock format.
Here’s how it works:
- For
am times:
- If it’s
12:00 am, that becomes
00:00.
- For any other
am time (like 1:30 am, 6:50 am, etc.), just keep the hour as is — but write it with two digits if needed (e.g., 6:50 am → 06:50).
- For
pm times:
- If it’s
12:00 pm, that stays
12:00.
- For any other
pm time (like 1:30 pm, 4:30 pm, etc.), add
12 to the hour (e.g., 4:30 pm → 4 + 12 = 16 → 16:30).
Let’s go through each one carefully:
1. 4:30 pm → 4 + 12 = 16 →
16:30
2. 6:50 am → stays same, but use 2 digits for hour →
06:50
3. 7:15 pm → 7 + 12 = 19 →
19:15
4. 9:25 am →
09:25
5. 5:55 pm → 5 + 12 = 17 →
17:55
6. 8:20 am →
08:20
7. 3:35 pm → 3 + 12 = 15 →
15:35
8. 2:40 am →
02:40
9. 1:15 am →
01:15
10. 9:00 am →
09:00
11. 7:30 pm → 7 + 12 = 19 →
19:30
12. 4:15 am →
04:15
13. 6:30 pm → 6 + 12 = 18 →
18:30
14. 9:30 am →
09:30
15. 12:55 pm → 12 pm stays 12 →
12:55
16. 10:25 am →
10:25
17. 11:00 pm → 11 + 12 = 23 →
23:00
18. 8:30 am →
08:30
19. 9:50 pm → 9 + 12 = 21 →
21:50
20. 3:30 am →
03:30
Double-check a few tricky ones:
- 12:55 pm → yes, still 12:55 (not 00:55 — that’s midnight).
- 11:00 pm → 23:00 ✔️
- 12:00 am would be 00:00, but we don’t have that here.
All look correct.

1. 16:30
2. 06:50
3. 19:15
4. 09:25
5. 17:55
