Answer:

<em>The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling for example, when representing geographic locations on a map.

A model ship is built to a scale of 1 cm: 5 m. This means that each centimeter of the model represents an actual length of 5 m.

The length of the model is 25 cm, thus the real ship has a length of 25*5 = 125 m.

The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.
