Question

what time is 15 hours after 5:00 a.m.?

Explanation:

Step1: Add hours to initial time

We start with 5:00 a.m. and add 15 hours. So we calculate \( 5 + 15 = 20 \) hours.

Step2: Convert 24-hour time to 12-hour

Since a day has 24 hours, and 20 - 12 = 8. So 20:00 in 12-hour format is 8:00 p.m. (because times from 13:00 to 24:00 in 24-hour format correspond to 1:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. in 12-hour format, so subtracting 12 gives the 12-hour time and we use p.m. for times after 12:00 p.m.).

Answer:

8:00 p.m.
