How is the military time represented for 7:20 PM?

0720
1920
2020
1420

The correct answer is: 1920

In military time, the 24-hour clock format is used, where hours are counted from 00 to 23. For 7:20 PM, you add 12 hours to the standard 12-hour format in order to convert it into military time. This means that you take the hour 7 and add 12, resulting in 19. Therefore, 7:20 PM in military time is represented as 1920. The minutes remain the same, so when combined, it reads as 1920. Understanding this conversion is essential for accurately interpreting times in various healthcare and military settings, where precise timekeeping is critical for scheduling and care.
