The height of the dinosaur is 52.5 ft.

We know that:

12 inches = 1 ft

So, 1 inch = 1/12 ft

or, 3 inches = 3/12 = 0.25 ft.

So the height of Amir is = 5 ft 3 inch = 5.25 ft.

Let the height of the dinosaur is = x.

So, the ratio is:

[tex]\frac{5.25}{x}=\frac{4}{40}\\x=5.25\cdot\frac{40}{4}\\x=52.5[/tex]
