Question

If the clock is showing evening/afternoon time, then write the time in 24 hour clock.

A. $6:16$
B. $18:16$
C. $6:16$ p.m.
D $18:16$ p:m

Answer 1

Hint: In order to convert the 12 hour time into 24 hour clock time just add 12 hours to the given 12 hour clock time.

Complete step-by-step answer:

It's given that the clock is showing evening/afternoon time
So the time showing on the clock is $6:16$ p.m.
In order to change the p.m. time in a 24 hours time we have to add 12 p. m to the hours unless it is 12 p.m., in that case time remains unchanged.
Therefore $6:16$ p.m. $ = \left( {6 + 12} \right):16 = 18:16$ p.m.
Hence option D is correct.

Note: The difference between a 12-hour clock and the 24-hour clock is just a difference in the expression of time as former dividing the day into two periods and the later counting the 24 hours of a day continuously. Here 12-hour clock time is given and we convert it into 24-hour clock by simply adding 12 hours to the given time.
