## You can count 8 AM to 5 PM by hand in four steps.

1.  Write both times on the 24-hour clock: 8 AM is 8:00 and 5 PM is 17:00.
2.  Subtract the start from the end: 17:00 − 8:00 = 9 hours.
3.  Take off the unpaid lunch. A 30-minute lunch leaves 8 hours 30 minutes, and a 60-minute lunch leaves 8 hours.
4.  Turn the minutes into a decimal by dividing them by 60: 8 hours 30 minutes is 8 + 30 ÷ 60 = 8.5 hours.
