ou 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, we can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the total time between 22:00 and 06:00:**
   - From 22:00 to 00:00 (midnight) = 2 hours.
   - From 00:00 to 06:00 = 6 hours.
   - So, the total time between 22:00 and 06:00 is:  
     \( 2 \, \text{hours} + 6 \, \text{hours} = 8 \, \text{hours} \).

2. **Subtract the break:**
   - You have a 45-minute break, which is equivalent to \( \frac{45}{60} = 0.75 \) hours.
   - Subtracting the break from the total hours worked:  
     \( 8 \, \text{hours} - 0.75 \, \text{hours} = 7.25 \, \text{hours} \).

So, you work **7.25 hours** during your shift.

**Tip:** To easily subtract time, convert everything to the same units (e.g., all in hours or all in minutes).
