Answer 1

110 inches tall (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale model:

1 teaspoon = 1 inch of height

1 inch = 1 m

1 teaspoon = 1000 gallons of water

For 110,000 gallons of water, we need to convert from gallons to height

From gallons to teaspoon:

1000 gallons of water = 1 teaspoon

110000 gallons of water = 110000/1000

110000 gallons of water = 110 teaspoon

conversion from teaspoon to height in inches

1 teaspoon = 1 inch of height

110 teaspoon = 110/1

110 teaspoon = 110 inches tall (option B)
