Hence, the area of the rectangular space is:

284.6667 square yards.

It is given that the length(l) of the rectangular space is:
$30(1)/(2)\ yard$ .

which in improper fraction is:
$(61)/(2)\ yard$

Similarly, the width(b) of the rectangular space is:
$9(1)/(3)\ yard$

which in improper fraction is:
$(28)/(3)\ yard$

As we know that the area of the rectangular space is calculated as:

$Area=l* b\\\\\\Area=(61)/(2)* (28)/(3)\ \text{square\ yards}\\\\\\Area=284.6667\ \text{square\ yards}$

Hence, Area is: 284.6667 square yards.
