alleryWhat is the last minute of a day in 24-hour time?
A23:59
B24:59
C00:59
D12:59
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 23:59
1. Hours run from 00 to 23 and minutes from 00 to 59.
2. The last full hour is 23, and its last minute is 59.
3. So the last minute begins at 23:59, since 24:59 is not a valid time.
