Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find the scale - factor multiplier
We know that 5 feet in real life is 2 inches in the diagram. We want to find out how many 5 - foot segments are in 15 feet. Calculate $\frac{15}{5}$.
$\frac{15}{5}=3$
## Step2: Multiply by the diagram length per 5 - foot segment
Since each 5 - foot segment is 2 inches in the diagram, and we have 3 such segments, we multiply 3 by 2.
$3\times2 = 6$
# Answer:
6
