How to Convert 3:30 pm to Military Time
You can easily convert 3:30 pm to military time by following a few easy steps.
Since military time is based on the 24-hour time standard, all times in the afternoon need to be from 12 to 23. Because 3:30 pm is after noon, you need to add 12 to the hours in the time.
3:30 + 12 hours = 15:30
Since military time starts at hour 00 for midnight, you need to change the hours to 00 for any time between 12:00 am and 12:59 am.
Next, remove the pm notation since the new time is now in a 24-hour format.
Then, you can remove the colon from the 15:30 24-hour time.
And finally, military time uses the "hours" suffix after the time, so you can add the word "hours" after the time.
15:30 = 1530 hours
So, 3:30 pm is the same as 1530 hours in military time.
