$\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{model}{length}}{\stackrel{actual}{length}}\qquad 1:83\qquad \cfrac{1}{83}\implies \cfrac{1}{83}=\cfrac{10.5}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{83\cdot 10.5}{1}
\\\\\\
x=871.5~inches
\\\\\\
\textit{there are 12 inches in 1 foot, thus }
\\\\\\
871.5~\underline{in}\cdot \cfrac{ft}{12~\underline{in}}\implies 72.625~ft 
\qquad \approx 73~ft$

Pepsi [2]

X = weight of the baby.
y = weight of the doctor.
z = weight of the nurse.

x + y = 78 so y = 78 - x
x + z = 69 so z = 69 - x
x + y + z = 142

substitute y = 78 - x and z = 69 - x into x + y + z = 142

x + y + z = 142
x +78 - x + 69 - x = 142
-x + 147 = 142
-x = - 5
x = 5

answer
