Answer:

L = 0.16 yd, W = 0.22 yd

Explanation:

Dimensions of play ground 23/147 yd x 3/14 yd

reducing factor 2/147

Let the original length is L.


L - (2L)/(147) = (23)/(147)\\\\L(143)/(147) = (23)/(147)\\\\L=(23)/(143) yd

L = 0.16 yd

Let the width is W.


W - (2W)/(147) = (3)/(14)\\\\W(143)/(147) = (3)/(14)\\\\W=0.22 yd
