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.
