here it is am I'm having a brain fart:

A bolt of cloth is colored as follows: 1/3 and 1/4th of it are black, and 
the remaining 8 yards are gray. How long is the bolt of cloth?

Some of you can do this in a heartbeat, but I'm forgetting my simple 
algebra.

Thanks
Paul
 Ps: the answer is not how much to order for a bench cover!
