Question

A volunteer orientation starts at 10:32 a.m. Enter the start time in military notation.

1032

Typed answer, rounded to a whole number.

Answer

1032

Rationale

For a morning time, use the morning hour on the 24-hour clock and retain the minutes. Include a leading zero when the hour has one digit.

Worked solution: For a.m. times keep the hour (12 a.m. becomes 00): 10:32 a.m. = 1032.

RememberUse the 24-hour clock to distinguish morning from afternoon and evening.
