Convertion of Unit Time of 12 Hour Clock to 24 Hour Clock and Vice Versa

Read and convert unit time of 12 hour clock to 24 hour clock and vice versa

The hours can exist in two systems: 12- hour clock and 24 - hour clock.

A 12- hour clock has 12 hours between midnight and midday (a.m) and 12 hours between midday and midnight (p.m).

A day starts at mid night and ends after 24 hours.Times in the morning are the same in both systems. For times in the afternoon, convert by adding or subtracting 12 hours.

Example

Read and convert unit time of 12 hour clock to 24 hour clock and vice versa

Example

Read and convert unit time of 12 hour clock to 24 hour clock and vice versa

Example

Units of Capacity

Standard Unit of Measuring Capacity

State the standard unit of measuring capacity

Capacity is related to the volume.

Definitions:

• Capacity-is defined as the ability hold or contain something
• The S.I unit of capacity is litre.
• Volume –is defined as the amount of space occupied by a substance
• The S.I unit of volume is cubic metres (m3)

Capacity is related to the volume as follows:

1 litre = 1000cm3 = 0.001m3 = 1dm3

Also 1 ml = 1 cm3

Other units related to litre are kiloliter (kl), hectoliter (hl), decalitre (dal), litre (l), deciliter (dl), centiliter (cl) and mililitre (ml).

The conversion of one unit to another is done by considering the arrangement below
