    Answer:

    12 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    On a scale drawing of a boat, 15 feet are represented by 10 inches.

    This means 15\,\,feet=10\,\,inches

    1\,\,inch=\frac{15}{10}\,\,feet=\frac{3}{2}\,\,feet

    Now, find the length of the boat if the drawing was 8 inches long.

    Length of the boat = 8(\frac{3}{2})=12\,\,feets

    So, length of the boat is 12 feets if the drawing was 8 inches long.
