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 point 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?

The 20 students each get 2.5 yards of blue felt, so they use 20 × 2.5 = 50 yards of blue felt. That leaves 74 − 50 = 24 yards of red felt. Dividing the red felt equally among 20 students gives 24 ÷ 20 = 1.2 yards each, so the answer is 1.2 yd.
