To write the time 3:50 in three different ways, you can use the 12-hour clock format, the 24-hour clock format, and also express it as a fraction of a day. Here's how:

1. 12-hour clock format: In the 12-hour clock format, you specify the time using AM (ante meridiem) for the morning hours and PM (post meridiem) for the afternoon and evening hours. In this format, 3:50 can be written as:
- 3:50 AM: This represents the time as 3 hours and 50 minutes in the morning.

2. 24-hour clock format: The 24-hour clock format eliminates the need for AM and PM, and it ranges from 0:00 to 23:59. In this format, 3:50 can be written as:
- 03:50: This indicates the time as 3 hours and 50 minutes past midnight (or early morning).

3. Fraction of a day: Another way to express the time is as a fraction of a day. Since a day is commonly divided into 24 hours, you can represent 3:50 as a fraction by dividing the time by 24. In this case, the fraction would be:
- 3.83 (rounded to two decimal places): This means that 3:50 is approximately 3.83 times a full day.

These three different ways of writing the time provide flexibility in various contexts, allowing for clearer communication based on the preferred time format or requirement.
