The distance from the foundation of the pedestal to the tip of the tourch of the Statue of Liberty is 305'1". The distance from the base of the statue to the tip of the torch is about 6 1/2 times longer than the height of the tablet the statue holds. Estimate the height of the tablet.

If the words "base of the statue" equal "foundation of pedestal" then 305/6.5 gives about 47 feet for the height of tablet. However, "base of the statue" normally does not refer to the foundation, the statue being just under half the height given so the tablet is about 23 feet which is also given in the source. You need to give all the data to solve the question.
