Two?
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.
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...
simples
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.
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
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.
Just one.

How many Psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?
One, but the light bulb has to really want to change!
She can’t sell any of these based only on square inches. If the desired piece is 17 x 42, and the bolt is 60 inches wide, then she will have to sell at least 17 inches in length. The rest will be waste material. If the bolt is 36 inches wide, she will have to sell 42 inches in length, and the rest will be waste material. I can’t imagine that any retailer is going to cut out a piece exactly by square inches. They will sell blocks in whole numbers enough to include the required number of square inches.

Fact: a yard of fabric is 36 x 60.
She will sell 1/4, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 yards. What are the parameters and measurements allowed for each of the 4 measurements?
So if she has a 17 x 42 piece as an example, what will it be under?
If this ebay like site works the same as ebay with quantities, then offering 1/4 - 1/2 - 3/4 is fine but 1/3 or 2/3 isn’t going to work in the same auction/listing.
She could have two listings. One by the 1/4 yard and people could buy 1/4 or 2/4 aka 1/2 or 3/4 or 4/4 aka 1.
Another listing could be for 1/3 yard and they could buy 1/3 or 2/3 or 3/3 aka 1
Basically she’d sell multiple quantities of 1/4 yard and/or multiple quantities of 1/3 yard. If someone wanted 1 1/2 yards they would just but 6/4 or 1/4 in a quantity of 6
Personally, I would just do the 1/4 yard. If someone wants 2/3 (24”), they can just buy 3/4 (27”) and deal with it.
If someone needs a piece 17 x 42, they would buy 1/2 yard which would be 18 x 60 and they’ll have some leftover. No one cuts lengthwise into a roll because they’d end up with a ton of scraps that they’ll never sell.
1/4 yard = 9”
1/3 yard = 12”
1/2 yard = 18”
2/3 yard = 24”
3/4 yard = 27”

FYI “The wool from the national animal of Peru: the Vicuña sheep, is the most expensive wool in the world because the sheep can only be shorn every three years. The fabric can be used for apparel and home decor. The vucana wool range from $1,800 to $3,000 per yard, so a scarf will cost around $20,000!” ~ various sources
