Answer:

9 yards of each quilt.

Explanation:

Let the length of each quilt be 'x'.

Given:

Length of green felt = 15 yards

Length of blue felt = 12 yards

Total number of quilts = 3

Total length of all the quilts in terms of 'x' is given as:


Total\ length=x+x+x=3x ----(1)

Total length is also equal to the sum of the lengths of green and blue felts. So,


Total\ length=15+12=27--- (2)

Now, equating equations (1) and (2), we get:


3x=27\\\\x=(27)/(3)\\\\x=9

Therefore, the length of each quilt is 9 yards.
