How to Convert 1500 Military Time to Standard Time
You can easily convert 1500 hours to standard 12-hour time by following a few easy steps.
Since military time is based on the 24-hour time standard, all times greater than 11 represent a time in the afternoon. Because 1500 is greater than 1159 (11:59 in 24-hour time), you can subtract 1200 to find the equivalent 12-hour time.
1500 - 1200 = 300
Then, you can add a colon between the hours and minutes portion to convert the time to the 12-hour format.
300 = 3:00
And finally, since 1500 hours is in the afternoon (it's greater than 1100), you need to add the "pm" to the end to denote that the resulting 12-hour time is after noon.
