Time Conversions

1 day = 24 hours, 1 hour = 60 minutes, 1 minute = 60 seconds.
To convert days to hours, multiply by 24 (e.g., 3 days = 72 hours).
To convert hours to minutes, multiply by 60; minutes to seconds, multiply by 60.
For reverse conversions, divide by the appropriate factor.

12-Hour and 24-Hour Clocks

12-hour clock uses AM (midnight to midday) and PM (midday to midnight).
24-hour clock runs from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59; no AM/PM needed.
To convert 12-hour PM to 24-hour, add 12 to the hour (e.g., 3:25pm = 15:25).
12:00am = 00:00, 12:00pm = 12:00.
On an analogue clock, the short hand is the hour hand and the long hand is the minute hand; each number represents 5 minutes for the minute hand.

Reading time from an analogue clock

Calculating with Time

Work in chunks: add minutes to next hour, then whole hours, then remaining minutes.
When crossing AM/PM, remember that 12:00pm is midday and 12:00am is midnight.
For time intervals, subtract start from end, using chunking or conversion to minutes.
Example: 07:35 to 08:14 is 25 min + 14 min = 39 min.

Bus and Train Timetables

Timetables typically use 24-hour clock; times are four digits without colon.
Each column represents a different service; times are usually departure times.
To find journey duration, subtract departure time from arrival time for the same service.
Example: 0800 at Coronation Street to 0840 at Ramsey Street = 40 minutes.

Bus timetable

Time Zones

Time zones differ by hours; some locations are ahead, others behind.
To convert, add or subtract the time difference depending on direction.
If a location is behind, subtract hours; if ahead, add hours.
Example: Madrid is 7 hours ahead of Chicago; 17:15 Madrid = 10:15 Chicago.

Exchange Rates

Exchange rate shows how much one currency is worth in another.
To convert from currency A to B, multiply amount in A by the rate (A to B).
To convert from B to A, divide amount in B by the rate (A to B).
Example: $1 = 0.8626 euros; $650 × 0.8626 = €560.69.

Converting Units of Length, Mass, Capacity

Length: 1 cm = 10 mm, 1 m = 100 cm, 1 km = 1000 m.
Mass: 1 g = 1000 mg, 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 tonne = 1000 kg.
Capacity: 1 litre = 1000 ml, 1 ml = 1 cm³.
To convert, multiply or divide by powers of 10; e.g., 5.3 km = 5300 m.

Squared and Cubic Units

For area, square the linear conversion: 1 m² = 100 cm × 100 cm = 10 000 cm².
For volume, cube the linear conversion: 1 m³ = 100 cm × 100 cm × 100 cm = 1 000 000 cm³.
1 cm² = 100 mm², 1 km² = 1 000 000 m².
1 cm³ = 1000 mm³, 1 km³ = 1 000 000 000 m³.

## Time, Currency & Conversions – Quick Revision ### Time - **Conversions**: 1 min = 60 s, 1 h = 60 min, 1 day = 24 h, 1 week = 7 days, 1 year = 365 days. - **12-hour vs 24-hour**: 12:00 am = 00:00, 12:00 pm = 12:00. Add 12 for pm (except 12 pm stays 12:00). - **Calculating durations**: Work in chunks – minutes to next hour, then whole hours, then remaining minutes. - **Time zones**: If behind, subtract hours; if ahead, add hours. ### Exchange Rates - **Convert**: Multiply when going to the currency on the right of the rate; divide when going to the left. - E.g., £1 = €1.17: £ → € multiply by 1.17; € → £ divide by 1.17. - **Check**: If result should be bigger or smaller than original. ### Converting Units - **Length**: 1 cm = 10 mm, 1 m = 100 cm, 1 km = 1000 m. - **Mass**: 1 g = 1000 mg, 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 tonne = 1000 kg. - **Capacity**: 1 litre = 1000 ml, 1 ml = 1 cm³. - **Area**: Square the conversion factor. 1 cm² = 100 mm², 1 m² = 10 000 cm², 1 km² = 1 000 000 m². - **Volume**: Cube the conversion factor. 1 cm³ = 1000 mm³, 1 m³ = 1 000 000 cm³. ### Tips - For time, use calculator's ° ' '' button if needed. - When stuck on multiply/divide, test both and pick the sensible one.

24-hour clock: Time format using four digits (00:00 to 23:59). Midnight is 00:00, midday is 12:00.
12-hour clock: Time format using am (midnight to midday) and pm (midday to midnight).
Exchange rate: The value of one currency in terms of another, e.g., £1 = €1.17.
Conversion factor: The number used to multiply or divide when converting units (e.g., 100 cm per metre).
Squared units: Area units obtained by squaring the linear conversion factor (e.g., 1 m² = 10 000 cm²).
Cubic units: Volume units obtained by cubing the linear conversion factor (e.g., 1 m³ = 1 000 000 cm³).
