Working.... A chain of humans would measure 1.5*7*1e9 = 10500000000 meters, which is 10500000000/1000 = 10500000 km, so it would be 10500000/384400 = 27.315296566077 times The answer to your inquiry is: If every human 1.5 m long kept each other at arms full length in a chain, the length of that chain would be equal to a little more than 27 times the distance form Earth to the Moon.
