To find the height of the student's model of the Eiffel Tower in inches, we can use the scale provided, which is 1 inch represents 12 feet.

The actual height of the Eiffel Tower is 984 feet. We need to convert this height to inches using the scale:

\[ \text{Model height (in inches)} = \frac{\text{Actual height (in feet)}}{\text{Scale (feet per inch)}} \]

Substituting the values into the equation:

\[ \text{Model height (in inches)} = \frac{984 \text{ feet}}{12 \text{ feet per inch}} = 82 \text{ inches} \]

Thus, the height of the student’s model is 82 inches.
