24-Hour Time
The time of day is written in the 24-hour notation in the form hh:mm
(hours:minutes).

The day begins at midnight (00:00) and the last minute of the day begins at
23:59.

The advantage of the 24-hour clock is that it clearly distinguishes the time in
the morning and the afternoon without the a.m. and p.m. notation.

The 24-hour notation is used in many applications such as timetables, oven


clocks and airport arrivals and departures.
Examples:
a) Convert 8:15 p.m. to 24 hour
time.

b) Write 21:45 in 12 hour time.

Time Zones
 Time zones have the same time irrespective of time differences.
Positive time zone number ‒ ahead GMT or UTC
Negative time zone number ‒ behind GMT or UTC

 Australia has three time zones called the Eastern Standard Time
(+10), Central Standard Time (+9.5) and Western Standard Time
(+8).
• The Earth is divided into 24 time zones (one
for each hour).
• Twenty-four 15° lines of longitude divide the
Earth into its time zones. [15°=1hour,
1°=4minutes]
• Time zones also depend on a country’s
borders and its proximity to other countries.
• Time is based on the time in a place called
Greenwich, United Kingdom, and this is
called Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
• Places east of Greenwich are ahead in time.
• Places west of Greenwich are behind in time.
• Australia has three time zones:
 Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is UTC
plus 10 hours.
 Central Standard Time (CST), which is UTC
plus 9.5 hours.
 Western Standard Time (WST), which is
UTC plus 8 hours.
Time differences
To calculate the local time.

1. Place the locations on an east west time line.

2. Find the time difference between the two locations.

3. Find the local time by adding or subtracting the time difference.


East of location – Add the time difference.
West of location– Subtract the time difference.
