Can someone help me solve this word problem?

A boat builder wants to make a model of a schooner, a type of sailboat with at least two masts. The schooner is 34 meters in length and has a beam of 8 meters ( the measure of the widest point of a ship ). if the builder wants her model to be 1.2 meters in length what would be the length of the beam of the model?
