To find Ayodeji's height in the photograph, we need to multiply his actual height by the scale factor.
* **Ayodeji's actual height:** 1.5 meters
* **Scale factor:** 1:10 (which means 1/10)
Height in photograph = Actual height * Scale factor
Height in photograph = 1.5 meters * (1/10)
Height in photograph = 0.15 meters
Therefore, Ayodeji's height in the photograph is 0.15 meters.
