If the scale is 1 inch = 2 feet, meaning that every 1 inch of Mr. Lincoln's real height would be represented by 2 feet, or 24 inches in the statue, then all you really need to do is multiply 6 ft 4 inches by 24.  Conveniently, 6 ft 4 in is 6 and 1/3 feet, or <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=19%2F3 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"19%2F3\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > ft.  <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=%2819%2F3%29%2A24=19%2A8=152 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"%2819%2F3%29%2A24=19%2A8=152\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >  Larger than life?
