Question 1201623: Isabel is making covers for the throw pillows on her sofa. For each pillow cover, she needs (1)/(12) yard of print fabric and (1)/(20) yard of solid fabric. What is the total amount of fabric Isabel needs for each pillow cover? Make sure you properly label your answer.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This question seems like you are missing something, but I think it asks you for the Least common multiple (LCM).
So for every yard of print, she can make 12 covers. For every yard of solid, she can make 20 covers.
If she buys 5 yards of print and 3 yards of solid, she can make 60 covers. The numbers 12 and 20 LCM is 60.

They want you add two fractioned lengths, of a yard and of a yard.
The common multiple of the denominators, 12 and 20, is 60; so I continue
+ = + = = of a yard. ANSWER
Solved.
----------------
It is well known fact, that many school students afraid add fractions, because they do not know how to do it.
The only way to learn it is to exercise it many times.
Same as learning play piano.
It is good if you have enough examples from good sources to learn from.
