Answer:

7.5 feet

Explanation:

If we look at the yellow line, it is 6 cm.

To find how many times 2cm goes into 6cm, we divide.

6/2=3

So, if we reproduce the shape for every 2 cm, we have to multiply the value by 3.

Since every 2 cm will be equal to 2.5 feet, we can multiply the values.

$2.5\cdot3=7.5$

So Jackie should make the yellow line 7.5 feet long.

Hope this helped!
