To find the unit rate that compares the length of the couch in the dollhouse to the length of the couch in the real living room, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit of measurement. Let's convert the length of the couch in the real living room from feet to centimeters:

1 foot = 30.48 centimeters

So, the length of the couch in the real living room is:

8 feet x 30.48 centimeters/foot = 243.84 centimeters

Now we can calculate the unit rate:

Unit rate = length of couch in dollhouse / length of couch in real living room

Unit rate = 6 centimeters / 243.84 centimeters

Unit rate = 0.0246

Therefore, the unit rate that compares the length of the couch in the living room to the length of the couch in the dollhouse is 0.0246 cm/cm.
