The question from the image states that you start a night shift at 22:00 (10:00 PM) and finish at 06:00 (6:00 AM), with a 45-minute break. You are asked to calculate how many hours you worked, rounding your answer to 2 decimal places.

### Steps to solve:
1. **Total time worked**: 
   - From 22:00 to 06:00 is 8 hours in total.

2. **Subtract the break**:
   - 45 minutes is equivalent to 0.75 hours (since \( 45 \div 60 = 0.75 \)).

3. **Final calculation**:
   \[
   8 - 0.75 = 7.25 \text{ hours worked}
   \]

So, the correct answer should be **7.25 hours**, not 7.15.

4. How would you calculate total hours if the start and end times were on different days?
5. How do you round time to decimal places correctly?

**Tip:** Always remember to convert minutes into decimal form when calculating time differences for hourly tasks!
