Guide to Time: Explanation, Diagrams & Worked Examples

Download Printable One Page Guide (PDF)

Explanation:

Remember that time is based on 60 minutes = 1 hour (not 100). On a 24-hour clock, times always use 4 digits (e.g. 08:30 for 8:30 am), and for afternoon or evening times from 1:00 pm onwards you add 12 to the hours (e.g. 3:45 pm = 15:45).

Never use column subtraction for times. Instead, count on in stages by jumping to the next whole hour first, then counting whole hours, and finally adding the remaining minutes.

Example 1: A train leaves at 14:38 and arrives at 17:15. How long is the journey?

+22 min +2 hrs +15 min 14:38 15:00 17:00 17:15
• 14:38 → 15:00 = 22 min;  15:00 → 17:00 = 2 hrs;  17:00 → 17:15 = 15 min
• Combine minutes: 22 + 15 = 37 min → Answer: 2 hours 37 minutes

Example 2: A film starts at 6:45 pm and lasts 138 minutes. What time does it finish in 24-hour time?

Solution:

• Convert start time to 24-hour: 6:45 pm = 18:45
• Convert 138 mins: 120 mins + 18 mins = 2 hrs 18 mins
• Add 2 hours: 18:45 + 2 hrs = 20:45
• Add 18 mins: 20:45 + 15 mins = 21:00, + 3 mins = 21:03
Answer: 21:03
