Step-by-step explanation:

3 in to 5 ft

so, one basic unit in the drawing is in fact 3 inches.

how many base units fit into the numbers ? these factors need then to be multiplied with the base units of 5 ft for reality.

6 inches high

6 / 3 = 2

so, the elephant is 2 units high, which means in reality 2×5 = 10 ft high.

10.8 inches long

10.8 / 3 = 3.6

so, the elephant is 3.6 units long, which means in reality 3.6×5 = 18 ft long.
