Answer 2

Length of the real cells = 7500 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model is a physical representation of an object that has the same aspects as that of the object.

A scale model can be used in fields like engineering, film making, salesmanship, etc

Length of the student's cell model = 15 cm

The scale is
`1:500`

So,

Length of the student's cell model / Length of the real cells =
`1:500`

15 / Length of the real cells =
`1:500`

Length of the real cells = 15 × 500 = 7500 cm
