Question 934360: If a clock displays, hours, minutes, minutes, seconds, and AM-PM, how many different times can it display?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
12 different hours
60 different minutes
60 different seconds
2 different modes (AM or PM)


Multiply: 12*60*60*2 = 86,400

There are 86,400 different times that can be displayed.
