how do you convert 8:45 military time to standard time?

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to convert military time to standard time? It's not as hard as you may think! Converting from military time (also known as 24 hour clock) to standard time (12 hour clock) is a simple process that requires only basic math skills. Here we'll discuss how you can easily convert 8:45 military time to standard time.

First, it's important to know what military time is. Military time is based on a 24-hour clock, meaning it starts over at midnight after 24 hours and not after 12 hours like regular, standard (or AM/PM) time. That means that 8:45 in military time is the same as 20:45 in regular, standard (or AM/PM) time.

To convert 8:45 military time to standard time:

• Take the first two numbers of the four-digit number and divide them by 2. If the result is a whole number, then simply use that result and write down 0 after it. If it's a decimal number, then simply round it up or down, depending on the circumstance and write down 0 after the result number. This will give you the equivalent for what hours are going before and after noon when converting from 24 hour clock to 12 hour clock.

In this case, 8 divided by 2=4; so 4 becomes our first number when writing out our results for converting 8:45 military time to regular, 12-hour format.

• Take the remaining digits of 8:45 (in this case 45). Knowing that there are 60 minutes on an analog watch face or digital clock display we can take the last two digits of the result of your initial calculation and divide those by 60 which will give us minutes per hour left over after subtracting hours from our total result of 8:45 minutes which were accounted for in our first step towards conversion.

In this case 45 divided by 60 = .75; so 00 becomes our second number when writing out our results for converting 8:45 military time to regular, 12-hour format.
