Alright, lets get started.

A squirrel is 1.1 feet tall.

The squirrel shrinks to 1/10 of its height

So, we need to do 1/10 of the squirrel's height for knowing how much it shrinks.

So, the amount squirrel shrinks =
1.1*(1)/(10) = 0.11 feet

So, its current height will be =
1.1 - 0.11 = 0.99 feet

It means squirrel is now 0.99 feet long. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
