To find the height of the son, we need to calculate 1/14 of the height of the father who is 623 feet tall.

To do this, we can use the calculation: \[ \text{Height of son} = \frac{623 \text{ ft}}{14} \]

Calculating that: \[ \frac{623}{14} = 44.5 \text{ ft} \]

Now, let's convert 44.5 feet to a fraction. 44.5 is the same as \( 44 \frac{1}{2} \) or \( \frac{89}{2} \) feet.

Looking at the responses you provided, I believe the closest possibility was:

  • \( 1 \text{ Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction ft.} \)

However, it seems that option does not match our calculated height.

If just focusing on simple fractional responses:

  • \( 44.5 \text{ ft} = 44 \text{ ft and 6 inches} \)

Since this option doesn't appear in your list and seems to reference feet, double-check the input values if there's a misunderstanding.

The appropriate response for the height of the player’s son correctly determined following initial calculations doesn't appear to be within presented choices, suggesting a possible error in either the choices or their relation to the calculations.
