1. The problem states that 1 inch corresponds to 1.5 meters, and we need to find how many inches correspond to 12.5 meters. 2. We use the conversion formula: $$\text{inches} = \frac{\text{meters}}{\text{meters per inch}}$$ 3. Substitute the given values: $$\text{inches} = \frac{12.5}{1.5}$$ 4. Simplify the fraction: $$\text{inches} = \frac{12.5}{\cancel{1.5}} \times \frac{\cancel{1}}{1} = \frac{12.5}{1.5}$$ 5. Calculate the division: $$\text{inches} = 8.3333...$$ 6. Therefore, 12.5 meters correspond to approximately 8.33 inches.
