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 multiply the father's height by 1/4.
6 2/3 * 1/4 = 20/3 * 1/4 = 20/12 = 5/3 = 1 2/3
Therefore, the son is 1 2/3 feet tall.

Sara discarded 110 of the apples she picked as defective. Of the apples remaining, 300 were made into cider. The rest were sold as fresh fruit. What fraction of the total apples picked were sold as fresh fruit?(1 point)

To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to know the initial number of apples picked before any were discarded or made into cider. As this information is not provided, we cannot determine the fraction. Therefore, the correct answer is "not enough information."
The town of Oak Manor measures 3.8 miles by 4.2 miles. Solve for the total area.(1 point)

15.96 mi
15.96 mi
8 mi2
8 mi squared
15.96 mi2
15.96 mi squared
16 mi2
16 mi squared
To solve for the total area of Oak Manor, we need to multiply the length and the width of the town.
Area = length x width = 3.8 miles x 4.2 miles = 15.96 mi²
Therefore, the correct answer is 15.96 mi².
To find out how tall the basketball player's son is, we need to multiply the basketball player's height by 1/4.
First, let's convert the basketball player's height from mixed numbers to an improper fraction. The player's height is 6 2/3, which can be written as (6*3 + 2)/3 = 20/3.
Now, we'll multiply 20/3 by 1/4.
(20/3) * (1/4) = (20*1)/(3*4) = 20/12 = 5/3.
So, the son is 5/3 feet tall.
To choose the correct answer from the given options, let's convert 5/3 to a mixed number. We do this by dividing the numerator (5) by the denominator (3).
5 ÷ 3 = 1 remainder 2.
Therefore, the son is 1 2/3 feet tall.
Hence, the correct answer is "1 2/3 ft."
