To calculate the total number of hours worked, we'll follow these steps:

1. Time difference without the break:

   • The shift starts at 22:00 (10:00 PM) and ends at 06:00 (6:00 AM).
   • From 22:00 to midnight (24:00) = 2 hours.
   • From midnight (00:00) to 06:00 = 6 hours.
   • Total hours without the break = 2 + 6 = 8 hours.

2. Subtracting the break:

   • The break is 45 minutes, or 0.75 hours.
   • Therefore, the total time worked = 8 hours - 0.75 hours = 7.25 hours.

So, you work 7 hours and 15 minutes.

Tip: When calculating time across midnight, always separate hours before and after midnight for easier calculations.
