Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks for the angle between the two hands of a clock when the time is 6:00 in the morning.
At 6:00, the minute hand is at the 12, and the hour hand is at the 6. On a clock, there are 12 hour markings, and the angle between each hour marking is (since ).
At 6:00, the two hands are exactly opposite each other, forming a straight line. Therefore, the angle between them is:
Thus, the correct answer is B) .
