Answer: Height of her model be 5 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of the real empire state building = 1250 feet

If Luna is making the model at a scale of 1 foot to 250 feet .

Let the height of her model be h

Since, there is direct variation, so we get


(1250)/(h)=(250)/(1)\\\\(1250)/(250)=h\\\\h=5\ foot

Hence, height of her model be 5 foot.
