The positions of port [tex]\( P \)[/tex] and a lighthouse [tex]\( L \)[/tex].

Lindsey sails her boat from port [tex]\( P \)[/tex] on a bearing of [tex]\( 050^{\circ} \)[/tex].
She sails for [tex]\( 1 \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] hours at an average speed of [tex]\( 5 \, \text{km/h} \)[/tex] to a port [tex]\( Q \)[/tex].
Scale: [tex]\( 1 \, \text{cm} \)[/tex] represents [tex]\( 3 \, \text{km} \)[/tex].

Certainly, let's work through the various parts of this problem step by step.

### Part a) Indicate the position of port [tex]\( Q \)[/tex] on the drawing

Steps:
1. Lindsey sails from port [tex]\( P \)[/tex] on a bearing of [tex]\( 050^\circ \)[/tex].
2. She sails for [tex]\( 1 \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] hours at an average speed of [tex]\( 5 \)[/tex] km/h.

First, we need to calculate the distance [tex]\( PQ \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 5 \text{ km/h} \times 1.5 \text{ h} = 7.5 \text{ km} \][/tex]

Next, we use the scale where [tex]\( 1 \text{ cm} \)[/tex] represents [tex]\( 3 \text{ km} \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \text{Distance in cm} = \frac{7.5 \text{ km}}{3 \text{ km/cm}} = 2.5 \text{ cm} \][/tex]

So, port [tex]\( Q \)[/tex] should be marked [tex]\( 2.5 \)[/tex] cm from port [tex]\( P \)[/tex] in the direction of [tex]\( 050^\circ \)[/tex].

### Part b) Find the distance, in km, of port [tex]\( Q \)[/tex] from lighthouse [tex]\( L \)[/tex].

We are directly given this information:
[tex]\[ \text{Distance} = 10.5 \text{ km} \][/tex]

### Part c) Find the bearing of port [tex]\( Q \)[/tex] from lighthouse [tex]\( L \)[/tex].

We are also directly given this information:
[tex]\[ \text{Bearing from \( L \)} = 280^\circ \][/tex]

### Summary

a) The position of port [tex]\( Q \)[/tex] should be marked [tex]\( 2.5 \)[/tex] cm from port [tex]\( P \)[/tex] on the drawing, at a bearing of [tex]\( 050^\circ \)[/tex].

b) The distance from port [tex]\( Q \)[/tex] to the lighthouse [tex]\( L \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 10.5 \)[/tex] km.

c) The bearing of port [tex]\( Q \)[/tex] from the lighthouse [tex]\( L \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 280^\circ \)[/tex].
