the new model will be 11 ft tall.

the actual rocket is 363 ft tall, because 3(121)=363, since 1 ft for the model is equivalent to 121 ft of the rocket.

363/33=11. you can check this by doing 11(33)=363.

Answer:

0.79 ft ≈ For 30 feet

Explanation:

This is even a tricky question for me, I am pretty sure this would be around 0.79 feet. But I am not too sure so I am very sorry if I am incorrect.

I hope this helps, if it doesn't then just message me and ill be more than happy to help :)
