Answer:

150 m

Explanation:

So the scale of the model is 1 cm = 5 m, and the model is 30 cm long. We can set this up as two fractions, then cross-multiply, like so:

1 cm/30 cm = 5 m/x m

1 * x = x

30 * 5 = 150

Now, set the two products equal to each other. Normally we'd have to simplify, but x is already on its own, so we have our answer:

x = 150 m
