Answer:

• length: 14 in
• width: 8 in
• height: 11 in

Explanation:

The model scale tells you ...

(model dimension) / (actual dimension) = 7/48

Multiplying by the actual dimension, we get ...

model dimension = (actual dimension)×7/48

Then ...

model length = (97 in)(7/48) = 14 7/48 in ≈ 14 in

model width = (54 in)(7/48) = 7 7/8 in ≈ 8 in

model height = (72 in)(7/48) = 10 1/2 in ≈ 11 in
