    Answer: 22.5 yards

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are a total of 20 parts yarn. This means that 3/20 of the carpet is silver. So in order to compare this to the 150 meters of total yarn, you would set up this equation:

    3/20 = x/150

    Next, you cross multiply:

    3*150 = 20*x or simplified would be 450 = 20x

    Next, you divide both sides by 20 to get x by itself.

    450/20 = 22.5, so x is equal to 22.5

    This means you have 22.5 yards of silver in the carpet.
