Best Answer

In order to answer this, you first need to convert the feet measurement into inches. This is so that the question has consistent units. There are 12 inches in a foot, so to convert from feet to inches you multiply by 12. In this case we have 6 feet so 6x12 = 72inches. To find the scale, we put the model size as the left number and the represented size as the right number: 1.5:72

This can then be simplified by dividing both numbers by 1.5. This gives the scale of the model as 1:48.
