You are correct!
You are correct! The military time 0145 corresponds to 1:45 A.M. on a regular clock.
To convert military time to regular time, you can follow this simple process:
1. If the military hour is between 0 and 11 (inclusive), this corresponds to times in the morning (A.M.). Simply write down the military hour as it is. For example, 0145 remains as 01.
2. If the military hour is between 12 and 23 (inclusive), subtract 12 from the military hour to get the regular hour. Write down this regular hour followed by "P.M." For example, 1745 becomes 5:45 P.M. because 17 - 12 = 5.
In this case, the military hour 01 falls into the first category, so we write down 01 as it is. Adding a colon between the hour and the minutes gives us 01:45, and since this is in the morning, we add "A.M." The correct answer is B. 1:45 A.M.
