Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total blue felt distributed

$$20 \text{ students} \times 2.5 \text{ yd/student} = 50 \text{ yd}$$

Step2: Calculate total red felt available

$$74 \text{ yd (total)} - 50 \text{ yd (blue)} = 24 \text{ yd}$$

Step3: Calculate red felt per student

$$\frac{24 \text{ yd}}{20 \text{ students}} = 1.2 \text{ yd/student}$$

Answer:

1.2 yd
