We wanna focus on this part " Each of his 20 students gets 2.5 yards of blue felt for the project. "

We wanna find out how many yards of blue felt in total he got for the project to do this u can (Multiply) (20) by (2.5)

$$20\times2.5=50$$

Lets look at this part "Mr. Reddick has 74 total yards of red and blue felt to distribute to students in his art class."

He has 74 yards of red (AND) blue felt for the art class.

We've already found out the yards of the (Blue) felt which is (50)

U wanna (Subtract) (50) which is the (Blue) felt from (74) which is the total amount of felt to find out how much (Red) felt there is.

$$74-50=24$$

Lets look at this " He also gives each student an equal amount of red felt. " and "Each of his 20 students gets 2.5 yards of blue felt for the project. "

If he only has (20) students to find out how much (Red) felt each (Individual) student will get u just need to (Divide) (24) the amount of red felt he has by (20) the number of his students

$$24\div20=1.2$$

So each student will get (1.2 yards) of (Red) felt.
