Answer:

21:30

Explanation:

The 24hour clock uses 0:00 for midnite. 1am through noon are just 1:00 - 12:00. But the pm hours continue counting up, 13 - 23.

For example, 1pm is 13:00 and 2pm is 14:00.

To change to 24 hour clock, for pm hours, ADD 12.

So for your problem, 9:30 is:

9:30 + 12

= 21:30

Okay so a 24hr clock is very simple. We usually turn to "PM" when its 12:00 (day time).
In the 24hr clock we do not, we don't use PM or AM but its crucial to know when converting a standard clock time to military time (aka. 24hr).

9:30 PM in 24hr clock is 12:00 + 9:30 because 9:30 is past that first 12 hours.

So in 24hr clock time it is 21:30. You can also count backwards from midnight to figure it out, for example 12:00 AM (midnight), minus 9:30 is 2:30. Therefore 24:00-2:30=21:30.

Hopefully it helps, heart will help me alot too!
