2212 ft.

Answer 1

To determine how tall the basketball player's infant son is, we need to calculate \( \frac{1}{14} \) of the player's height of 623 feet.

First, we calculate \( \frac{1}{14} \) of 623 feet:

\[
\text{Son's height} = \frac{623 \text{ ft}}{14}
\]

Now, we perform the division:

\[
623 \div 14 \approx 44.5
\]

To express this more clearly:

\[
623 = 14 \times 44 + 11
\]

So \( 623 \div 14 = 44 \) with a remainder of \( 11 \). This gives us \( 44 \frac{11}{14} \).

Thus, the son's height is approximately \( 44 \frac{11}{14} \) feet.

Converting \( 44 \frac{11}{14} \) to decimal, it equates to:

- \( 11 \div 14 \approx 0.7857 \)
- Hence, \( 44 + 0.7857 \approx 44.7857 \)

Given the initial response options don't seem to match up with the calculations, if adjusting based on the given options, the closest would be "112 ft. 1 Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction ft." although it isn't an accurate calculation based on the initial question.
