How many hours between 5pm and 2am?

Answer

The difference between 5pm and 2am is
9 Hours

= 540 Minutes · 9 decimal hours

5:00 PM → 2:00 AM next day · by the clock, breaks not subtracted

The end is earlier than the start, so it falls on the next day (+24 h). On a night the clocks change, the real span differs by the size of the change.

With a 30-min unpaid break: 9 h − 30 min = 8 h 30 min paid

day 1
next day
5:00 PM — start 2:00 AM — end, next day
(24:00 − 5:00 PM) + 2:00 AM = 7 h + 2 h = 9 hours
