If Marilyn Monroe was 5'11", what would her measurements be to scale?

I don't know how to even think of the equation for the math of this. It's difficult for me.

Update:

She was 5'5" and weighed 120 lbs.

37-23-36 (Bust-waist-hips)

    5'-11", 131 lbs., 40-25-39

    Use ratios to solve the problem:

    65"/120lbs = 71"/X

    71x120=8520

    8520/65=131lbs <---now use her weight to find her measurements:

    chest"/120lbs=Y"/131lbs, waist"/120lbs=Z"/131lbs, hip"/120lbs=A"/131lbs

    It works. My numbers are correct.

    If she was 120 at 5'5'', at 5'11'' she would have to be 143 to have the same BMI. I don't know about her measurements.

    You need to provide her actual measurements before anyone can answer this.
