Answer:

B; 4.5 meters.

Explanation:

Analyzing the question, we can see that 1 cm is equivalent to 1.5 meters.

Therefore, we must multiply
1.5 * 3 because the height of the sailboat in her drawing is 3 cm, and will be multiplied by 1.5 meters to find the real height.


1.5 * 3 = 4.5

Thusly, the height, in meters, of the actual boat is
\boxed{{4.5\text{\:meters\:or\:B}}}.

Hope this helps! (:
