the correct question in the attached figure

Let
a---------> actual height in feet
m-------> height of model in inches

we know that
scale=15 ft/7 in------> equation 1
scale=a/m--------> equation 2
equals 1 and 2
15/7=a/m
clear variable a
a=m*(15/7)

clear variable m
m=a*(7/15)

therefore

the answer is
the option B m=a*(7/15)
