Military Time vs. Standard Time
Time calculation is easiest using a 24-hour clock (00:00 to 23:59) to avoid AM/PM confusion.
AM00:00 - 11:59
PM12:00 - 23:59
The "Decimal Hour" Trap
A common mistake is treating time like decimals. 1.50 hours is NOT 1 hour 50 minutes.
1.5 Hours = 1h 30m
1.25 Hours = 1h 15m
1.75 Hours = 1h 45m
