Converting 8:00 PM to 24-hour format

Here's how to convert 8:00 PM from 12-hour format to 24-hour format:

Steps to convert 8:00 PM to 20:00:

  1. First, we look at the period (PM) and the hour (8).
  2. Since it's PM and not 12, we add 12 to the hour: 8 + 12 = 20
  3. This converts the afternoon/evening time to 24-hour format
  4. We keep the minutes the same: 00
  5. Therefore, 8:00 PM in 24-hour format is 20:00

Understanding the conversion

The 12-hour clock uses AM (ante meridiem: before noon) and PM (post meridiem: after noon), while the 24-hour clock (also known as military time) runs from 00:00 to 23:59.
