Answer

Secondary turns = $468,750$.

Work Step by Step

We can set up a ratio as follows: $(Secondary~Volts/Primary~Volts)=(Secondary~ turns/primary~turns)$. $(15000/8)=(Secondary~turns/250)$ By cross multiplication, we get: $15,000*250=$Secondary turns*$8$ We solve: Secondary turns = $(15,000*250)/8$ Secondary turns = $(3,750,000)/8$. Secondary turns = $468,750$.
