Pieces From Your Fabric
The shop-floor question, both directions: how many pieces fit across a strip, and how many come out of the fabric you already have.

How many pieces come from a width of fabric?
Divide the usable width (fabric width minus selvages) by the cut width and round down — that is your pieces per strip. Each strip costs one cut-height of length, so the yield from any yardage is the number of whole strips times the pieces per strip. Round down at every step: a partial piece is scrap, not a piece.
The long version, with a worked example: how many pieces from a width of fabric. Starting from a piece count instead? The fabric yardage calculator works it the other way and tells you how much to buy.
There's more where that came from
In the app this reads your actual stash — pick the fabric, and it tells you if the yardage on your shelf covers the cut list.
