Here is a video to explain how to record time in 24-hour time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_n_KGf277I. Attached is a PowerPoint to work through with an adult so that you understand the methods for working out the answers. Once you have worked through the PowerPoint, you must have a go at answering the questions independently (ask an adult for help if you get stuck).
