Final answer:

The Statue of Liberty is 46.2 meters tall, arrived at by multiplying the height of a 154 cm tall person by 30 and converting the result to meters. The correct option, after adjusting for the typo, is b. 462 m, meaning 46.2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many meters in height is the Statue of Liberty if it is 30 times the height of a person who is 154 cm tall. To find the answer, we need to perform a basic multiplication calculation. First, we convert the person's height from centimeters to meters by dividing by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in a meter. This gives us a height of 1.54 meters for the person. Then, we multiply the person's height by 30 to find the height of the Statue of Liberty:

1.54 m (height of person) × 30 = 46.2 m.

Therefore, the Statue of Liberty is 46.2 meters tall, which corresponds to option b. 462 m after adjusting to the correct units. Please note that the option has a typo; it should be in meters (m) rather than centimeters (cm), so the correct answer is 46.2 meters height of the Statue of Liberty.
