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

But at 6:44 the hour hand is not at 6 so this not an exact answer.
