Answer 1

To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to calculate 2/3 of 97.2 feet.

2/3 * 97.2 = 64.8 feet

Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is -64.8 ft or negative 64 point 8 ft. The correct answer is -64.8 ft.

1 2/3 ft.

Answer 3

To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to calculate 1/4 of 6 2/3 feet.

1/4 * 6 2/3 = (1/4) * (20/3) = 20/12 = 1 8/12 = 1 2/3 feet

Therefore, the basketball player's son is 1 2/3 ft tall. The correct answer is 1 2/3 ft.
