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 number of hours you work during the night shift, we need to subtract the 45-minute break from the total shift duration.

1. The shift starts at 22:00 and ends at 06:00 the next day, which is an 8-hour period. 
   
   \[
   06:00 - 22:00 = 8 \text{ hours}
   \]

2. Now subtract the 45-minute break from the total shift:

   \[
   45 \text{ minutes} = 0.75 \text{ hours}
   \]

3. The total work time is:

   \[
   8 \text{ hours} - 0.75 \text{ hours} = 7.25 \text{ hours}
   \]

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

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How would the work hours change with a 1-hour break?
2. What if the shift started at 21:00 instead?
3. How many hours do you work over 5 shifts with the same schedule?
4. What is the percentage of the break compared to the total shift time?
5. How would your pay change if you worked an extra hour without a break?

**Tip:** When converting minutes to hours, divide the minutes by 60 (e.g., 45 minutes = 0.75 hours).
