Answer:

Hence the actual length of the part = 58.61 inches.

Explanation:

The scale factor on a scale drawing of machine part is 15.125.

In the drawing, the scale part is 3.875 inches long.

We have to find the actual length of the part .

Actual length can be found out by taking the product of length of the part in drawing and its scale factor.

Actual length =
scale factor * length in drawing

= 15.125 \times 3.875

= 58.61 inches

Hence the actual length of the part = 58.61 inches.
