How do you convert military 1022 hours to 12 hour clock?
24 Hour Clock: 4 numbers, the first 2 are the hours the second 2 the minutes. so 10 hours and 22 minutes. the minutes stay the same. If the hours are less than 12, keep it the same, but add an 'am'. If more than 12, deduct 12 and add 'pm' Since 10 is less than 12, it is 10:22am
