How many hours between 5pm and 2:30am?

Answer

The difference between 5pm and 2:30am is
9 Hours 30 Minutes

= 570 Minutes · 9.5 decimal hours

5:00 PM → 2:30 AM next day · by the clock, breaks not subtracted

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

day 1
next day
5:00 PM — start 2:30 AM — end, next day
(24:00 − 5:00 PM) + 2:30 AM = 7 h + 2 h 30 min = 9 h 30 min = 9.5 h
