To find out how tall the basketball player's son is, divide the height of the basketball player (623 feet) by 14 (the ratio between the player's height and his son's height):
623 ft / 14 = 44.5 ft
Therefore, his son is 44.5 feet tall.
To find out how tall the basketball player's son is, we need to subtract the height of the player from the infant son's height.
Given that the basketball player is 623 feet tall and his son is 14 times shorter, we can use the equation:
Son's Height = Player's Height / 14
Son's Height = 623 / 14
Calculating the result:
Son's Height = 44.5 feet
Therefore, the son's height is 44.5 feet.
