Answer:
C) 8 sheets of red and 13 sheets of yellow felt
Step-by-step explanation:
Red felt
Red felt needed for 1 toy = 3/8 sheet
⇒ Red felt needed for 20 toys = 20 × 3/8 sheets
[tex]\sf \implies 20 \times \dfrac38=\dfrac{20}{1}\times \dfrac38=\dfrac{20 \times 3}{1 \times 8}=\dfrac{60}{8}=7\frac12[/tex]
Therefore, 8 complete sheets of red felt are needed.
Yellow felt
Yellow felt needed for 1 toy = 5/8 sheet
⇒ Yellow felt needed for 20 toys = 20 × 5/8 sheets
[tex]\sf \implies 20 \times \dfrac58=\dfrac{20}{1}\times \dfrac58=\dfrac{20 \times 5}{1 \times 8}=\dfrac{100}{8}=12\frac12[/tex]
Therefore, 13 complete sheets of yellow felt are needed.
