Math Problem Statement
You start night shift at 22:00 and finish at 06:00 with a 45-minute break. How many hours do you work?
Solution
To determine how many hours you work during your night shift, we can break it down as follows:
- The total time from 22:00 (10:00 PM) to 06:00 (6:00 AM) is 8 hours.
- You have a 45-minute break, which we need to subtract from the total hours worked.
Let's calculate it:
So, you work 7.25 hours during your shift.

Here are 5 related questions you might explore:
- How do you convert minutes to hours?
- What would be the working hours if the break were 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes?
- How would the calculation change if the break were unpaid?
- What if you worked from 22:00 to 07:00 with the same break?
- How would this calculation differ across different time zones?
Tip: When converting minutes to hours, divide the number of minutes by 60 to get the decimal form of the hour.
