It clearly wouldn’t, but the initial post was KLAX 24, not a special aircraft with special crew qualification where one would expect this information would be trained and any required tables issued. Few are going to run Excel spreadsheets on final approach.
In any case, the 1:60 rule says the 5.4* path is 540 ft/nm times ground speed in nm/min. 150 knots equals about 1350 fpm.
