Answer: 33.9 inches

Explanation:

Assuming you meant to write that the length of the right arm holding the torch is 1 inch:

The statue is 305 feet tall and the replica is 9 inches tall.

If the replica's right arm is 1 inch, the actual arm will be:

= 1 * 305/9

= 33.9 inches

If right arm of replica was not 1 inch, use this answer as reference.
