We've showed you how to add fractions and find a common denominator. Now, it's your turn. How do YOU think this problem can be solved?

find the common denominator,then add the fractions!The common denominator can be 21 because 1/3 times 7=7/21 and 4/7 times 3=12/21.So,7/21+12/21=19/21!That is the answer.

To solve this word problem, we need to find the total fraction of the cloth used for both the pillow cover and the tablecloth.

First, let's find the fraction used for the pillow cover. It states in the question that 1/3 of the cloth was used for the pillow cover.

Next, let's find the fraction used for the tablecloth. It states in the question that 4/7 of the cloth was used for the tablecloth.

To find the total fraction used for both the pillow cover and tablecloth, we need to add the fractions together.

1/3 + 4/7

To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator would be 21, because it is the least common multiple of 3 and 7.

Let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 21:

1/3 * 7/7 = 7/21

4/7 * 3/3 = 12/21

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together:

7/21 + 12/21 = 19/21

Therefore, the fraction of the cloth used altogether for the pillow cover and tablecloth is 19/21.
