How many hours between 8:30am and 2:30am?

Answer

The difference between 8:30am and 2:30am is
18 Hours

= 1,080 Minutes · 18 decimal hours

8:30 AM → 2:30 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: 18 h − 30 min = 17 h 30 min paid

day 1
next day
8:30 AM — start 2:30 AM — end, next day
(24:00 − 8:30 AM) + 2:30 AM = 15 h 30 min + 2 h 30 min = 18 hours
