To find out how long the building is in the drawing, we need to convert its real-life length to millimeters using the scale.
The scale is given as 1 millimeter : 3 meters.
So, if the building is 150 meters long in real life, its length in the drawing can be calculated as (150 meters) * (1 millimeter / 3 meters).
Canceling out the units, we have:
150 meters * (1 millimeter / 3 meters) = (150/3) millimeters = 50 millimeters.
Therefore, the building is 50 millimeters long in the drawing.
