The Pacific Coast time is 3 hours later than the Eastern Zone. So at 1:00 am in the Pacific zone, it's 10 p.m. on the east coast.
That looks like an 11-hour shift.
A person begins work at 9:00am on the east cost and ends their shift at 1:00 am on the pacific coast. How many hours did they work?

American east coast or Canadian east coast

Oops! My math is way off!
9 a.m. to 10 p.m. is 13 hours -- not 11 hours.
And Reiny is right -- to which east coast do you refer?
