You start night shift at 22:00 and finish at 06:00 with a 45-minute break. How many hours do you work?


To calculate the total working hours:

1. The shift starts at 22:00 and ends at 06:00 the next day, which spans across midnight. So, first, calculate the time before and after midnight:

   - From 22:00 to 00:00 is 2 hours.
   - From 00:00 to 06:00 is 6 hours.

2. The total time worked before the break is:  
   \[ 2 \, \text{hours} + 6 \, \text{hours} = 8 \, \text{hours}. \]

3. Subtract the 45-minute break (which is 0.75 hours):  
   \[ 8 - 0.75 = 7.25 \, \text{hours}. \]

So, you work **7 hours and 15 minutes** in total.

Here are five related questions to expand the topic:
1. How do you calculate hours worked across midnight for different shifts?
2. How do you convert minutes to decimal form in time calculations?
3. If you take a 30-minute break instead, how many hours would you work?
4. How would you calculate your hours if you worked a shift from 23:00 to 07:00 with a 1-hour break?
5. What is the formula for calculating time worked after subtracting breaks?

**Tip:** To convert minutes into decimal hours, divide the number of minutes by 60 (e.g., 45 minutes = 45/60 = 0.75 hours).
