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 number of hours worked, follow these steps:

1. **Start time**: 22:00 (10:00 PM)
2. **End time**: 06:00 (6:00 AM)
3. **Break time**: 45 minutes = 0.75 hours

First, find the total time between 22:00 and 06:00 without considering the break:
- From 22:00 to midnight (24:00) = 2 hours
- From midnight (00:00) to 06:00 = 6 hours

So, total time before the break = 2 + 6 = 8 hours.

Now, subtract the break:
- 8 hours - 0.75 hours = **7.25 hours**.

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

2. What is the total number of hours worked in a 5-day workweek under this schedule?
3. How would you calculate your hours if the break was split into two shorter breaks?
4. What would happen if you started at 21:30 and finished at 06:30?
5. How would the calculation change if the shift extended into a different time zone?

**Tip**: Always convert minutes into decimal hours to simplify the calculation. For instance, 45 minutes is 0.75 hours.
