excel-hrs spreadsheet-work 8:15 - 5:30 (how calculate total hrs?)

I am trying to create a database that will show how many hours I work per day
/ per week. I want to put in the time I begin work (example - 8:15) and the
time I leave (example 5:45) and have it show that I worked 9.5 hours. I've
tried military time, I've tried formatting time as numbers. Can't get it to
work with the 60 minutes per hour. Any suggestions on how to do this?

please use this reference:

They have the perfect decision for you.

one way to try where m12 is the start and m13 is the end

=(M13-M12+IF(M13<M12,0.5))*24
