D. 24 yd​

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1.2 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

We are informed that Mr.Reddrick has a 74 total yards of red and blue felt to distribute to students in his art class. Moreover, we also have the information that each of his 20 students gets 2.5 yards of blue felt for the project. This implies that the total blue felt distributed is;

20*2.5 = 50 yards

The remainder is the total red felt left for distribution;

74 - 50 = 24 yards

Since we have 20 students, each one of them receives;

24/20 = 1.2 yd
