To find the height of the son, we need to multiply the height of the basketball player by 1/4.
6 2/3 * 1/4 = 26/3 * 1/4 = 26/12 = 2 2/12 = 2 1/6
Therefore, the son is 2 1/6 feet tall.
To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to multiply his height by 1/4.
So, the son's height is: 6 2/3 ft x 1/4 = 20/3 ft x 1/4 = 1 2/3 ft.
Therefore, the son is 1 2/3 ft tall.
