Let’s work through this step by step.
The task is to convert the given dates and times from 24-hour format (also called military time) into standard 12-hour format with AM or PM, and write them out in full words — like “January first at one o’clock in the morning.”
We’ll go row by row, left column then right column, as they appear on the chart.
---
Left Column:
1.
January first at 01:00 → January first at 1:00 a.m.
- 01:00 is after midnight, so it’s 1:00 a.m.
- Write as: *January first at one o'clock in the morning*
2.
January second at 05:30 → January second at 5:30 a.m.
- Still before noon → a.m.
- Write as: *January second at five thirty in the morning*
3.
January third at 18:00 → January third at 6:00 p.m.
- 18:00 minus 12 = 6 → p.m.
- Write as: *January third at six o'clock in the evening*
4.
January fourth at 21:45 → January fourth at 9:45 p.m.
- 21 - 12 = 9 → p.m.
- Write as: *January fourth at nine forty-five in the evening*
---
Right Column:
5.
January fifth at 07:15 → January fifth at 7:15 a.m.
- Before noon → a.m.
- Write as: *January fifth at seven fifteen in the morning*
6.
January sixth at 12:30 → January sixth at 12:30 p.m.
- Noon is 12:00 p.m., so 12:30 is still p.m.
- Write as: *January sixth at twelve thirty in the afternoon*
7.
January seventh at 00:10 → January seventh at 12:10 a.m.
- Midnight hour — 00:xx becomes 12:xx a.m.
- Write as: *January seventh at twelve ten in the morning*
8.
January eighth at 16:00 → January eighth at 4:00 p.m.
- 16 - 12 = 4 → p.m.
- Write as: *January eighth at four o'clock in the afternoon*

Now let’s double-check each:
- 01:00 → 1 a.m
✔
- 05:30 → 5:30 a.m
✔
- 18:00 → 6 p.m
✔
- 21:45 → 9:45 p.m
✔
- 07:15 → 7:15 a.m
✔
- 12:30 → 12:30 p.m
✔
- 00:10 → 12:10 a.m
✔
- 16:00 → 4 p.m
✔
All conversions are correct.
Final Answer:
January first at one o'clock in the morning
January second at five thirty in the morning
January third at six o'clock in the evening
January fourth at nine forty-five in the evening
January fifth at seven fifteen in the morning
January sixth at twelve thirty in the afternoon
January seventh at twelve ten in the morning
January eighth at four o'clock in the afternoon
