### Instruction: What is the number of degrees in the acute angle formed by the hands of a clock at 6:44?### Response: I need to find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at 6:44.
I can use the formula for the angle between the hands of a clock: A = |30H - 5.5M|, where H is the hour and M is the minute.
In this case, H = 6 and M = 44, so A = |30(6) - 5.5(44)|.
This simplifies to A = |180 - 242| = 62.
Since 62 is less than 90, it is an acute angle.
