In military time, what number represents 3 PM?

In military time, hours are expressed on a 24-hour clock system. This means that the day runs from 0000 hours (midnight) to 2359 hours (one minute before midnight the next day). For the afternoon hours, you simply add 12 to the standard hour format to convert it into military time.

For example, to determine the military time for 3 PM, you take 3 and add 12, which gives you 15. Therefore, 3 PM in military time is represented as 1500. This reflects that there are no minutes to be added, hence the two zeros following the 15, indicating 00 minutes. Thus, the representation of 3 PM is accurately marked as 1500 in military time.
