A basketball player is 6 2/3
feet tall. His infant son is 1/4.
as tall. How tall is his son?
2 2/3 ft
1 1/2 ft
1 2/3 ft
1/2 ft
2 1/6 ft
To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to multiply the height of the basketball player by 1/4.
6 2/3 * 1/4 = (6*4 + 2/3) * 1/4 = (24 + 2/3) * 1/4 = 24/4 + (2/3 * 1/4) = 6 + 2/12 = 6 + 1/6
So, the son is 6 1/6 feet tall.
To find out the height of the basketball player's son, we need to calculate 1/4 of the basketball player's height.
First, convert the basketball player's height to a fraction with a common denominator.
The basketball player's height is 6 2/3, which can be written as 20/3.
Next, multiply the basketball player's height by 1/4:
(20/3) * (1/4) = 20/12 = 5/3
Therefore, the son is 5/3 feet tall, which can be simplified to 1 2/3 feet.
So the correct answer is 1 2/3 ft.
