                                                          Time


                           Clock                                                          Conversion

          “It is a tool to measure time”.                                       1.  HOURS INTO MINUTES
          Basically, there are 3-hands in a clock                                   1 hour = 60 minutes
           1.  Hour hand                                                          So, Minutes = Hours × 60
           2.  Minute hand                                                      2.  MINUTES INTO SECONDS

           3.  Second hand                                                          1 minute = 60 seconds
                                                                                  So, Seconds = Minutes × 60
                                                  Reading Concepts
                                                                                3.  MINUTES INTO HOURS


               Quarter Past and Quarter to                                                Hours =   Minutes
                                                                                                       60
           1.  When the minute hand is before
              6  then we read it as ‘quarter past’                              4.  SECONDS INTO MINUTES
           2.  When the minute hand is after 6                                           Minutes =   Seconds
              the we read it as ‘quarter to’                                                            60
                                                                                5.  DAYS INTO HOURS
                                                                                   1 day = 24 hours

                                                                                          Hours = Day × 24
                                        Concept of a.m. and p.m.

                                 �   a.m.     12 midnight to 12 noon            6.  HOURS INTO DAYS
                                 �   p.m.      12 noon to 12 midnight                               Hours
                                                                                          Days =
                                                                                                      24



                     Calender                                                      Leap Year
          1 year    =  12 months                               “If the last two digits of a year is divisible by 4

          1 month  =  30/31 days                               then that year will be leap year”.
          1 week    =  7 days                                  i.e., 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020 ... etc.

          1 year    =  365 days 6 hours                         �   1 leap year = 366 days
                                                                �   Number of days in February = 29 days
          1 year    =  52 weeks
