Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Given that the ratio of model to actual is 1 inch : 1000 miles. So in oder to find the wide of Neptune in the model, you have to divide it by 1000 :

[tex]1 \: inch:1000 \: miles[/tex]

[tex]let \: x \: be \: the \: length \: of \: model [/tex]

[tex]x \: inches:30778 \: miles[/tex]

[tex]x = 30778 \div 1000[/tex]

[tex]x = 30.778 \: inches[/tex]
