Ms. Akriti Sharma is a school teacher. She reaches school at

. The school gets over at

2 o' clock

. In the evening she teaches children of poor people in her neighbourhood for

2 hours

. She starts teaching them at

. Write all the times mentioned in the story using,

a . m .

or

p . m .

Accepted Answer

We, need to write the time given in the story in terms of $a . m .$ or $p . m .$

We, know that,

We use $a . m .$ from $12 midnight$ to $12 noon$ .

We use $p . m .$ , for time from $12 noon$ to $12 midnight$ .

The first thing the teacher does is, she reaches the school at $8 o' clock$ , in the morning.

Therefore, we can also say that the time she reaches school is $8 a . m .$

The, next statement is school gets over at $2 o' clock$ .

We, can say that school gets over at $2 p . m .$

She again starts teaching the kids of the poor family at $4 : 30$ , in the evening.

That is, it also means that she starts teaching the kids of the poor family at $4 : 30 p . m .$

Hence, the story is rewritten again in terms of $a . m .$ and $p . m .$ as shown above.
