A basketball player is 6 2/3feet tall. His infant son is 1/4 as tall. How tall is his son? (1 point)
•1 1/2 ft
•1 2/3 ft
•2 2/3 ft
•2 2/12ft
To find the height of the son, we need to multiply the father's height by 1/4.
6 2/3 * 1/4 = (20/3) * (1/4) = 20/12 = 5/3 = 1 2/3 ft
Therefore, the son is 1 2/3 ft tall.
To find the son's height, we need to multiply the basketball player's height by 1/4.
First, we need to convert the basketball player's height to a mixed number:
6 2/3 = 6 + 2/3 = (6 * 3 + 2)/3 = 20/3
Next, we multiply the basketball player's height by 1/4:
(20/3) * (1/4) = 20/12 = 5/3
Finally, we convert the son's height back to a mixed number:
5/3 = 1 + 2/3
Therefore, the son is 1 2/3 ft tall.
