To find out how tall the basketball player's son is, we need to multiply the basketball player's height by 1/4.
The basketball player is 6 2/3 feet tall, and 1/4 of that is:
(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 height of the son, we need to multiply the height of the basketball player by the fraction 1/4.
Height of the basketball player = 6 2/3 ft
Multiplying the height of the basketball player by 1/4:
(6 2/3) * (1/4) = (20/3) * (1/4) = 20/12 = 1 2/3 ft
Therefore, the height of the son is 1 2/3 ft.
