A basketball player is 6 2/3
feet tall. His infant son is 1/4
as tall. How tall is his son
To find out how tall the son is, we need to multiply the basketball player's height by 1/4.
6 2/3 x 1/4 = (20/3) x (1/4) = 20/12 = 5/3
Therefore, the son is 5/3 feet tall.
To find out how tall the basketball player's son is, we need to calculate 1/4 of the basketball player's height.
Step 1: Convert the basketball player's height to a common fraction.
The basketball player is 6 2/3 feet tall, which can be written as 20/3 feet.
Step 2: Multiply the basketball player's height by 1/4.
(20/3) * (1/4) = (20*1) / (3*4) = 20 / 12 = 5/3 feet.
Therefore, the basketball player's son is 5/3 feet or 1 2/3 feet tall.
