The 24 Hour Clock
There are twelve hours in the morning. When the afternoon comes,
the clock hour hand has already been all the way round once.
So 1 o'clock in the afternoon is 12 + 1 which is 13 hours.
This is written as 13:00. We call it ‘13 hundred hours.’
Ten minutes later would be 13:10 and we would call it ‘thirteen ten
hours.’
Remember:
Midnight is called 00:00 (zero hundred hours) not 24:00.
Midday (noon) is called 12:00 (twelve hundred hours).
What times do these clocks show? (Use 24 hour time)
The first one has been done for you.
05:00
