Answer 2

Answer: 3.055 feet

Explanation:

Given : The statue of liberty is 305.5 feet tall from the foundation of its pedestal to the top of its torch.

Its model will be one hundredth times as tall as the actual statue.

Now , One hundredth =
`(1)/(100)=0.01`

According to the statement,

The height of the model will be =
`(1)/(100)*\text{Height of original statue}`

`=(1)/(100)*305.5=3.055\text{ feet}`

Hence, the height of the model will be 3.055 feet.
