Answer: 5 yards of green felt and 4 yards of blue felt is used to make each quilt.

Explanation:

As per given ,

Length of green felt used to make 3 quilts = 15 yards

Then , the length of green felt used to make 1 quilt =
(15)/(3)=5\text{ yards}

Length of blue felt used to make 3 quilts = 12 yards

Then , the length of blue felt used to make 1 quilt =
(12)/(3)=4\text{ yards}

Hence, 5 yards of green felt and 4 yards of blue felt is used to make each quilt.
