Answer :

To put these times in order from earliest to latest, let's first convert all the given times into a 24-hour format. This helps in comparing them easily.

  • A: 15:23 is already in 24-hour format. It is 3:23 PM.

  • B: 8:24 PM becomes 20:24 in 24-hour format.

  • C: 9:30 AM becomes 09:30 in 24-hour format.

  • D: 3:20 PM becomes 15:20 in 24-hour format.

  • E: 08:42 is already in 24-hour format. It is 8:42 AM.

  • F: 7:51 AM becomes 07:51 in 24-hour format.

Now, we list these times in order from earliest to latest by comparing their 24-hour time equivalents:

  1. F: 07:51 (7:51 AM)

  2. E: 08:42 (8:42 AM)

  3. C: 09:30 (9:30 AM)

  4. D: 15:20 (3:20 PM)

  5. A: 15:23 (3:23 PM)

  6. B: 20:24 (8:24 PM)

Therefore, the order from earliest to latest is F, E, C, D, A, B.
