Question

Ivan has 15 yards of green felt and 12 yards of blue felt to make 3 quilts if Ivan uses the same total number of yards for each quilt how many yards did he use for each quilt

Answer 1

Answer:

9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of each quilt be 'l'.

Given:

Length of green felt (g) = 15 yards

Length of blue felt (b) = 12 yards

Total number of quilts = 3

Now, the length of 3 quilts is given as:

$Total\ length=l+l+l=3l$ ----- (1)

As per question:

Total length = Length of green felt + Length of blue felt

Total length = $g+b$

$Total\ length=15+12=27$--------- (2)

Now, comparing equations (1) and (2), we get:

$3l=27\\\\l=\frac{27}{3}\\\\l=9\ yards$

Hence, each quilt measures 9 yards in length.
