The US fought in many different parts of the world during the war. A front is just a boundary between countries involved in the war, so multiple fronts is just, multiple of these different boundaries. The US fought in several different fronts which included, but are not limited to, Northern Africa, South East Asia, and Europe. These were all different fronts, as they are in different locations in the world.

Fighting on a many-fronted war caused the US to divide its resources in troops and supplies. As a consequence, the US had to prioritize the use of its resources. This led to FDR and Churchill cementing the Atlantic Alliance with a pledge to Beat Germany First, despite popular sentiment to concentrate on Japan. In the event, America allotted enough resources against Japan to keep them at bay while concentrating against Germany. By doing so, the Allies were able to knock Germany out of the war before concentrating their entire efforts against Japan.

It spread the military pretty thin, so its a miracle that the country wasn't destroyed during its vulnerability.
