Given:
The scale factor is, 5/8
The model length is, 1.5 m.
Taking the proportion we have,
[tex]\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1.5}{x}[/tex]Here, x is the actual length and can be calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x=1.5m\times8 \\ 5x=12\text{ }m \\ x=\frac{12m}{5}=2.4\text{ m} \end{gathered}[/tex]The actual length is 2.4 m.
