Mr. reddick has 74 total yards of red and blue felt to distribute to students in his art class. each of his 20 students gets 2.5 yards of blue felt for the project. he also gives each student an equal amount of red felt. how much red felt does each student get? a. 1.2 yd
b. 3.7 yd
c. 12 yd
d. 24 yd

1.2 yd or A

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to figure out how much blue felt there is. To do this just multiply the number of yards of felt was given to each student by the number of students.

Now that we know how many yards of blue felt there was, we can solve for how many yards of red felt we have by subtracting the number of blue yards from the total:

Now here's the last bit. We know that there are 20 students and 24 yards of red felt. It says that it needs to be equally divided so just divide the number of yards of red felt by the number of students.

So he will give 1.2 yards to each student.

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
