What is the number of degrees in the acute angle formed by the hands of a clock at 6:44?
From the 12:00 position the hour hand moves 1/2 degree per minute
the minute hand moves 6 degrees per minute
at 6 oclock + 44 minutes the hour hand is at 180 degrees + 44 (1/2) = 202 degrees
the minute hand at :44 is at 44 * 6 = 264 degrees
264 - 202 = 62 degrees between them
Melody.... I summed the 6 oclock time + 44 minutes for the hour hand....
