You start night shift at 22:00 and finish at 06:00 with a 45-minute break. How many hours do you work?

To determine how many hours you work during your night shift, we can break it down as follows:

1. The total time from 22:00 (10:00 PM) to 06:00 (6:00 AM) is 8 hours.
2. You have a 45-minute break, which we need to subtract from the total hours worked.

Let's calculate it:

\[
\text{Total hours} = 8 \, \text{hours}
\]
\[
\text{Break} = 45 \, \text{minutes} = 0.75 \, \text{hours}
\]
\[
\text{Hours worked} = 8 - 0.75 = 7.25 \, \text{hours}
\]

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

2. What would be the working hours if the break were 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes?
3. How would the calculation change if the break were unpaid?
4. What if you worked from 22:00 to 07:00 with the same break?
5. 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.
