What is the correct conversion of 4:00 PM to military time?

0400 hours
1600 hours
2000 hours
2400 hours

The correct answer is: 1600 hours

The conversion of 4:00 PM to military time is correctly represented as 1600 hours. Military time operates on a 24-hour clock system, where hours are counted from 00 to 23. In the standard time system, the hours from 1:00 PM to 12:00 AM translate to the military time as follows: 1:00 PM becomes 1300 hours, 2:00 PM transforms into 1400 hours, and so on, up to 12:00 PM, which is 1200 hours. Therefore, 4:00 PM converts to 1600 hours, as it is calculated by adding 12 to the hour component of the standard clock time. Other options do not correctly represent the time; 0400 hours indicates 4:00 AM, 2000 hours denotes 8:00 PM, and 2400 hours signifies midnight in military notation, thus providing an incorrect representation for 4:00 PM.
