What is the military time for 10:00 AM?

1200
1000
1100
0900

The correct answer is: 1000

The military time for 10:00 AM is 1000. In military time, the hours are represented on a 24-hour clock, with the first two digits indicating the hour and the last two digits indicating the minutes. Since 10:00 AM is in the morning, the hour remains the same, and there are no additional minutes, which is why it is expressed as 1000 in military time. For further clarity, 0000 represents midnight, while the hours from 1:00 AM to 11:00 AM are simply expressed by adding a leading zero where necessary. When it reaches 12:00 PM (noon), it is represented as 1200. Understanding this conversion is crucial for effective communication in military contexts, where time is often referenced in this format to avoid confusion.
