    It should be 128 inches or 10.67 feet tall

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Real size of the monument = 160 feet tall

    Scale used by Tonya = 4 inches equal to 5 feet

    Scale model of the monument = Real size of the monument / Scale used

    Proportion between real monument and scale model = 160 / 5 = 32

    It means that the proportion between the real monument and the scale model is 32

    Scale model height = Proportion * scale used

    Scale model height = 32 * 4

    Scale model height = 128 inches

    Scale model height = 128/12 = 10.67 feet (12 inches = 1 feet)
