What is the proper conversion of 1615 to regular time?

  1. 4:15 a.m.

  2. 4:15 p.m.

  3. 5:15 a.m.

  4. 5:15 p.m.

The correct answer is: 4:15 p.m.

The conversion of 1615 to regular time involves understanding the 24-hour clock format. In this format, the first two digits refer to the hours, while the last two digits refer to minutes. Thus, 1615 breaks down to 16 hours and 15 minutes. To convert this to standard time, you subtract 12 from the hour (16 - 12 = 4), which provides the hour in the 12-hour format. The minutes remain the same at 15. Since the hour is greater than 12, it indicates that it is in the afternoon rather than the morning. Therefore, 1615 converts to 4:15 p.m., confirming that the correct answer is indeed accurate. The other time options listed do not align with the correct calculation and understanding of the 24-hour to 12-hour conversion process.
