Answer
8:00 PM = 20:00 hours
Explanation
(a) AM times in 24-hour format keep the same hour number. 9:45 AM becomes 09:45 hours. (b) 11:20 hours in 24-hour format is before noon, so it equals 11:20 AM. (c) For PM times, add 12 to the hour. 3 + 12 = 15, so 3:00 PM = 15:00 hours. (d) For PM times, add 12 to the hour. 5 + 12 = 17, so 5:20 PM = 17:20 hours. (e) 20:00 hours is after noon. Subtract 12 from 20 to get 8, so 20:00 hours = 8:00 PM.
