What is the equivalent time for 2200 hours in standard time?

To convert from military time (24-hour clock) to standard time (12-hour clock), you need to identify how the hours correspond. In this case, 2200 hours indicates 22 hours after midnight.

When converting 2200 hours:

• The first step is to subtract 12 from the total hours because this will bring it into the PM range.

• 2200 hours minus 1200 hours equals 1000 hours.

• The 10 in 1000 hours indicates it is 10:00 in standard time, and since the military time is after 12:00 PM, it is in the evening.

Thus, 2200 hours translates to 10:00 PM in standard time, which confirms that the correct answer is indeed 10:00 PM. Understanding this method of conversion will help in quickly determining the time in standard format for any 24-hour clock reading.
