Answer: We need 5 yards green felt and 4 yards blue felt for each quilt.


Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of green felt be 'x' , length of blue felt be 'y' and and number of quilts be z.

If Ivan has 15 yards of green felt and 12 yards of blue felt to make 3 quilts.

⇒\(15x+12y=3z\)

Now, divide both sides by 3 , we get

\(5x+4y=1z\)

Therefore, we need 5 yards green felt and 4 yards blue felt for each quilt.
