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 you work, follow these steps:

1. Your shift starts at 22:00 (10:00 PM) and ends at 06:00 (6:00 AM), so you are working across midnight.
   
2. First, calculate the total duration of the shift:
   - From 22:00 to midnight is 2 hours.
   - From midnight to 06:00 is 6 hours.
   - So, the total shift time is \( 2 + 6 = 8 \) hours.

3. Now subtract the 45-minute break (which is \( 0.75 \) hours) from the total shift duration:
   \[
   8 - 0.75 = 7.25 \text{ hours}.
   \]

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

5. How does subtracting break time affect calculating work hours across multiple shifts?

**Tip:** When calculating time across midnight, consider breaking it into parts before and after midnight for easier calculations.
