Answer:

The scale factor is 1:96

Explanation:

First make sure everything is in the same units

If your model is 4 inches tall then you should turn the statue's height into inches as well

32 feet = 32 * 12 = 384 inches

The scale factor = small:big

4:384

divide by 4 to simplify (always simplify if possible)

1:96
