Aman brushes his teeth at 6:30 Sohan has his snC1;cks at 6:30

The time shown in both the clocks is same, that is 6:30.

1n the first case, it is morning and in the second case,
it is evening. There are 12 hours in between.
A day consists of 24 hours.
So, two hands of the clock rotate twice showing 1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
similar timings twice a day.
1 hour = 3600 seconds
We use a.m . and p .m. in 12-hour clock. 1 dm = 24 hours

24-Hour Clock
A 12-hour clock is what we generally use.
But in railways, airlines and armed forces, a 24-hour clock is used.

• We do not use a.m. or p.m. in 24-lwur clock time.

• The 24-lwur clock notation is in the fonn of hh:mm.
• Midnight in 24 hour clock is denoted as 00:00 hours.
• 24:00 hours refers to midnight of the next day.
Exampl e:
a. 8:45 c1 .m. is expressed as 08:45 hours.
b. 12 noon is expressed as 12:00 hours.
c. 12 midnight is expressed as 00:00 hours.

• There are 31 days in January, March, May, July, August, October and December.
• There are 30 days in April, June, September and November.
• There are 28 days in February in a non-leap year.
• There are 29 days in February in a leap year.(A leap year comes once in every 4 years

Example: Rohan's aunt came to visit him on 7th January.

She stayed till 15th February. How many days did she stay?
Number of days she stayed in January= 31 - 6 = 25 days
[Remember : We subtract 6 instead of 7 because
7th January has to be included]
Nmnber of days she stayed in February= 15 days
