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 how many hours you work, excluding your 45-minute break, let's follow these steps:

1. **Total shift duration**: 
   \[
   06:00 - 22:00 = 8 \, \text{hours}
   \]
   From 22:00 to 06:00 is 8 hours.

2. **Subtract break time**: 
   You have a 45-minute break, which is \( \frac{45}{60} = 0.75 \) hours.
   So, subtract the break from your total shift:
   \[
   8 - 0.75 = 7.25 \, \text{hours}
   \]

You work **7.25 hours** in total.

Here are some related questions:
1. How would the calculation change if the shift were longer?
2. What happens if the break is reduced to 30 minutes?
3. Can this calculation apply to irregular shift patterns?
4. How would overtime affect this calculation?
5. What if the shift ended at 07:00 instead?

**Tip**: Convert minutes to hours by dividing by 60, as 1 hour equals 60 minutes.

Find out how to calculate your total work hours for a night shift from 22:00 to 06:00, including a 45-minute break. This example demonstrates time subtraction and converting minutes into hours, ideal for students in Grades 5-7.
