Answer:

Explanation:

The height of the Eiffel Tower was halved repeatedly to make a model around 30 cm. We know that 30 cm = 0.3 meters.

We can set up an equation:

324m / 2^n = 0.3m

We can solve for n by logarithm base 2:

n = log(324/0.3) / log(2)

n = log(1080) / log(2)

n ≈ 10.6

The height of the Eiffel Tower was divided by 2^10.6, which is not a whole number.

It means that the height of Eiffel Tower was divided by a number that is between 10 and 11 times by 2.
