The length of Lizzie's model is:

156.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Lizzie is making a model of the Empire State Building.

She is using a scale of 1 cm:8 ft.

8 ft = 1 cm

The Empire State Building is 1,252 feet tall.

1252/8 feet = 156.5 feet

or 1252 feet = 156.5*8 feet

8 feet = 1 cm

156.5*8 feet=156.5 cm

1252 feet = 156.5 cm

Hence, the length of her model is:

156.5 cm
