1/23 ft.
To find the height of the son, we need to divide the height of the basketball player by 14.
623 ft / 14 = 44.5 ft
Therefore, the son is 44.5 feet tall.
To find how tall the son is, we need to find the fraction of the father's height that represents the son's height.
Given that the basketball player is 623 feet tall, and his son is 1/4 as tall, we can calculate the son's height as follows:
Son's height = 623 feet × 1/4
Son's height = (623 ÷ 4) feet
Son's height ≈ 155.75 feet
So, the son is approximately 155.75 feet tall.
