1. Change the following into 12 hour clock time
a) 1720 hours. b)0235 hours

a) 5:20

b) 2:35

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Subtract 12 from the 17 at the beginning of 1720, leaving you with 5. This is the hour component of standard time, and will be placed on the left side of the colon (5:__). Then, put  the last two digits onto the other side of the colon in standard time like so: 5:20.

b) For this one, because the first two digits don't exceed twelve, you simply have to divide the first two digits from the last two digits and put a colon between them: 02:35, or 2:35.

y/x=18
