36 x 60 = 2160 sq in
17 x 42 = 714 sq in
714 / 2160 = .33 yards

36 X 60 = 2160
17 X 42 = 714
714/2160 = 0.33
1/3’d of a yard if you are going by the area of the fabric and as defined in your post.

Fact: a yard of fabric is 36 x 60. Are all fabric bolts 60" wide? I thought there were variances.

Convert to square inches.
36 x 60 =2160 square inches
17 x 42 =714 square inches
714 divided by 2160 = .33 square yard...

If I understand your question.
The bolt of fabric is 60” wide.
If she sells 1/4, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 yards of the fabric, they will look like:
36/4 x 60 = 9x60
36/2 x 60 = 18x60
36x2/3 x 60 = 24x60
36x3/4 x 60 = 27x60.
If she sells 1 of each size, she needs 9+18+24+27=78 inches or 78/26 = 2 and 1/6 yards.

36 x 60 = 2160 sq in
17 x 42 = 714 sq in
714 / 2160 = Blue
The answer is Blue.

Bolts of fabric can vary (32” up to 60”) but the length is 36 inches to the yard.

I got one for you. Is a fifth of liquor 4/5th of a quart or 1/5th of a gallon?

My best guess:
Assuming most of the pieces are non-standard,
A “yard” is 36 x 60 = 2160 (inches?)
So, if my math is right:
1/4 = 540
1/2 = 1080
2/3 = 1440
3/4 = 1620
And your 17 x 42 piece = 714.
714/2160 = 0.33 = 1/3 of a yard

A fifth is a unit of volume formerly used for distilled beverages in the United States, equal to one fifth of a US liquid gallon, 4 ⁄ 5 quart, or 25 3 ⁄ 5 US fluid ounces (757 ml); it has been superseded by the metric bottle size of 750 ml, sometimes called a metric fifth, which is the standard capacity of wine bottles worldwide and is approximately 1% smaller. ~wiki

Fact: a yard of fabric is 36 x 60. I believe the portions of cloth would always be 60" wide, as a standard.
1/4 yard would be 15" x 60"
1/2 yard would be 30" x 60"
2/3 yard would be 40" x 60"
3/4 yard would be 45" x 60"
She will sell 1/4, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 yards.
So if she has a 17 x 42 piece as an example, what will it be under?
If she is selling portions of a yard of cloth, a 17x42 piece would be a "scrap piece", not a portion of a yard.

For cotton, chiffon, organza, satin it’s 58/60. I’m just making it 60 for simple reasons for the math to work..

how many stupid liberals does it take to screw a light bulb? Just one.
He just stands there with his hand in the air holding the base of the bulb against the socket and waits for the world to turn around him.

In Jolly Ol’ England, the Imperial gallon is bigger. ~ 1.2 times a US Gallon.
