Probably because people will get confused if they tried to use military time (which is based on the 24 hours clock. 2000 hrs is 8pm, 12+8=20).
Since there are two periods of time, a.m. and p.m. , 24 hours (the time in a day) needs to be split in two. 24 split in two is obviously 12.That is why there is twelve hours on a clock.
12 hours,
12 hour clock but could say the time in a 24 hour clock Analogue describes construction, not hours. It can be either.
A day is 24 hours. To find what fraction of a day 12 hours is, place 12 over 24. It is 12/24 of a day or 1/2 of a day simplified.
The difference between 12 hour clock and a 24 hour clock is that when you say 1:00am for a 12 hour clock you would say 0100 hours
The day starts at 12 because it is the midpoint of the 24-hour clock, with 12 hours before noon and 12 hours after noon. This convention helps to divide the day into two equal parts for easier timekeeping and organization.
7 AM in the 24-hour clock format is expressed as 07:00. In this system, hours are counted from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59, with the first 12 hours of the day represented in the same way as in the 12-hour format. Thus, 7 AM remains 07:00 in the 24-hour clock.
there are 24 hours in a day
12:00 hours
there are 24 hours in a day so fraction is 10/24= 5/12
No,12 hours apart.2*12=24 there are 24 hours in one day.
A day is 12 hoursA night is 12 hours
