Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Number of Bricks per Meter

Given that there are \( 15 \) bricks in \( 1 \) meter, we can express this relationship as: \[ \text{bricks per meter} = 15 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Total Height in Meters

To find the total height of the staircase in meters, we divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per meter: \[ \text{height in meters} = \frac{\text{total bricks}}{\text{bricks per meter}} = \frac{89}{15} \]

Step 3: Round the Result

Finally, we round the calculated height to the nearest tenth: \[ \text{height in meters rounded} = \text{round}\left(\frac{89}{15}, 1\right) \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{5.9}\)
