On a blueprint, the scale indicates that 6 cm represent 15 feet. What is the length of a room that is 9 cm long and 4 cm wide on the blueprint?

The scale length is 9cm and the scale is 6cm/15ft which is 3cm/5ft, so we can say:

9cm(5ft/3cm)=15ft for the length

If you wanted the width too...

4cm(5ft/3cm)=20ft/3 (6'8", 6ft 8in)
