Answer:

She should place the Sun 389.1167 feet away

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the model Jada presented,

The distance from Earth to moon  (2.389*10^5 miles) was represented by a foot of distance.

If we apply a rule of three

1 foot ----------------------- 2.389*10^5 miles

x      --------------------------9.296*10^7 miles

x = ( 9.296*10^7 miles * 1 foot) / 2.389*10^5 miles

x = 389.1167 feet

Answer:
