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 during your shift:

1. The shift starts at 22:00 (10:00 PM) and ends at 06:00 (6:00 AM), which is an 8-hour period. 
   - From 22:00 to midnight (00:00) is 2 hours.
   - From midnight (00:00) to 06:00 is 6 hours.
   - Total time without breaks: \( 2 + 6 = 8 \) hours.

2. Subtract the 45-minute break:
   - \( 45 \) minutes is \( \frac{45}{60} = 0.75 \) hours.

3. Final working time: \( 8 - 0.75 = 7.25 \) hours.

You work **7 hours and 15 minutes**.

Here are some related questions:
1. How would this change if the break were 1 hour?
2. What if the shift starts at 21:00 instead of 22:00?
3. How do you calculate overtime pay if the shift exceeds 8 hours?
4. How would this apply to a shift with two breaks instead of one?
5. What if the shift spans over daylight saving time adjustments?

**Tip:** Always convert minutes to decimal form (e.g., 45 minutes = 0.75 hours) when calculating total working hours.
