A diver searches for a sunken treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface. What is the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down?
To find the elevation when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, we need to find 2/3 of the distance between the surface and the treasure.
2/3 of 97.2 feet is (2/3) *96.2= <<(2/3)*96.2=64.8>>64.8 feet.
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is 97.2 - 64.8 = <<97.2-64.8=32.4>>32.4 feet below the surface. Answer: \boxed{32.4}.
How-to books make up 0.3 of the books in the school library. Of these, 0.2 deal with carpentry and 0.4 deal with electronics.
0.3×0.4=0.12
Interpret what the answer 0.12 represents in this equation above.

To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to subtract the number of apples discarded and made into cider from the total apples picked.
Total apples picked = Apples discarded + Apples made into cider + Apples sold as fresh fruit
Let's denote the number of apples sold as fresh fruit as "x".
110 apples were discarded and 300 apples were made into cider, so the remaining apples are the ones sold as fresh fruit.
x + 110 + 300 = Total apples picked
We don't know the total number of apples picked, so we don't have enough information to determine the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit. Hence, the answer is "not enough information."

To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to find 2/3 of the distance between the surface and the treasure.
2/3 of 97.2 feet is (2/3) *96.2= <<(2/3)*96.2=64.8>>64.8 feet.
However, the question is asking for the diver's elevation, which is below the surface. So, we need to subtract this value from the total distance below the surface: 97.2 - 64.8 = 32.4 ft.
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is -32.4 ft. Answer: \boxed{-32.4}.

The question states that the basketball player is 623 feet tall and his infant son is 14 times shorter than him.
To find the height of his son, we need to divide the height of the basketball player by 14.
623 feet / 14 = 44.5 feet.
Therefore, the son is 44.5 feet tall. Answer: \boxed{44.5}.
