Answer: 6.7inch

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Emma made a scale model of the Sam Houston's monument and that the monument's actual height is 67 ft tall but Emma is using a scale where 1 inch is 10 ft.

The height of Emma's model will therefore be 67ft divided by 10 since he's using a scale of 1:10. This will be:

= 67/10

= 6.7inch
