12 and 24-hour Time
 In America, we use 12- hour time. This means that we start at midnight
count up until 12 noon. Then we start over again at
1 pm.
 In Europe, they sometimes use 12-hour time, but they often use military
time. This is also known as 24-hour time.
 In military time, a colon or the letter h is used to separate hours and
minutes.
 In 24-hour time, midnight is the start and end of the day. Therefore it can be
written as 00h00 or 24h00
 Every single hour after midnight is counted. They do NOT start counting
over after 12 noon.
 So, 5 in the morning is written as 05h00.
 To determine the military time for 5 in the evening, add 12 ! It becomes
17h00 .
 Here are a few more examples of this:
o 7 am in military time is 07h00
o 7 pm in military time is 19h00
o 11:30 am in military time is 11h30
o 11:30 pm in military time is 23h30
 Alternatively, to go from military time to 12-hour time,
subtract 12!
 So 22h00 minus 12 is 10 pm.
 However, when we make this type of conversion it is important to indicate
whether the 12-hour time is AM or PM. If the military time hours is bigger
than 12, it is PM . If the military time hours is smaller than 12, it is AM .
 So, 22h00 is equal to 10 PM .
 Here are a few more examples of this:
o 21h00 in 12-hour time is 9 PM.
o 09h00 in 12-hour time is 9 AM.
o 16h15 in 12-hour time is 4:15 PM.
o 04h15 in 12-hour time is 4:15 AM.
