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, we need to subtract the break from the total shift time.

1. **Start time:** 22:00  
2. **End time:** 06:00 (the next day)  
3. **Break:** 45 minutes  

First, calculate the total time between 22:00 and 06:00.

- From 22:00 to midnight (00:00) = 2 hours  
- From 00:00 to 06:00 = 6 hours  

So, the total shift time is:  
\[ 2 \, \text{hours} + 6 \, \text{hours} = 8 \, \text{hours} \]

Next, subtract the 45-minute break:

- 45 minutes = 0.75 hours

Thus, the total working time is:
\[ 8 \, \text{hours} - 0.75 \, \text{hours} = 7.25 \, \text{hours} \]

You work **7.25 hours**.

Here are 5 related questions to further explore the concept:

1. How would your working hours change if your break were 1 hour instead of 45 minutes?
2. How many hours would you work over a 5-day workweek with this schedule?
3. What is the total amount of break time in minutes across a 5-day week?
4. How would the calculation differ if you worked a 10-hour shift with the same break?
5. How would your total work hours change if you had two 30-minute breaks instead?

**Tip:** When calculating hours across midnight, split the time into two parts: from the start to midnight, and from midnight to the end.
