Answer

$33.9$ centimeters

Work Step by Step

There are 30.48 centimeters in a foot. This is a scale model, so the ratios of the length of the actual to the scale model and the ratio of the wingspan from the actual to the scale model are equal. $\frac{230 * 30.48}{40} = \frac{195*30.48}{x}$ Simplify, Cross multiply and solve. $7010.4/40 = 5943.6/x$ $7010.4x = 237744$ $x \approx 33.9130435$ Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is $33.9$ centimeters.
