Given that military time uses a 24-hour clock (12:00 midnight equals to 24:00), what time is 1/3 of a day past 9:15 a.m. in military time?

Rationale

17:15 hours is 1/3 of a day past 9:15 a.m. in military time.

In military time, a full day is 24 hours. Therefore, 1/3 of a day equals 8 hours. Adding 8 hours to 9:15 a.m. gives us 17:15 hours in military time.

A (17:15 hours) CORRECT

This is the correct answer. Adding 8 hours (which is 1/3 of a 24-hour day) to 9:15 a.m. gives us 17:15 hours.

B (12:15 hours) YOUR ANSWER

This answer is incorrect as it represents only 3 hours past 9:15 a.m., which is not 1/3 of a day.

C (21:15 hours) YOUR ANSWER

This answer is incorrect as it represents 12 hours past 9:15 a.m., which is half a day, not 1/3 of a day.

D (15:15 hours) YOUR ANSWER

This answer is incorrect as it represents 6 hours past 9:15 a.m., which is 1/4 of a day, not 1/3 of a day.

Conclusion

Given that military time uses a 24-hour clock and 1/3 of a day is 8 hours, 1/3 of a day past 9:15 a.m. is 17:15 hours. Other times represent different fractions of the day past 9:15 a.m., and are therefore incorrect.

Given that military time uses a 24-hour clock (12:00 midnight equals to 24:00), what time is 1/3 of a day past 9:15 a.m. in military time?

17:15 hours is 1/3 of a day past 9:15 a.m. in military time.
