Solution

The problem involves the amount of wood needed to build a picnic table and the amount of wood Gene has.

Step 1: Identify the amount of wood needed for one picnic table. According to the problem, Gene needs 6.3 yards of wood to build one picnic table.

Step 2: Identify the total amount of wood Gene has. The problem states that Gene has 18.9 yards of wood.

Step 3: To find out how many picnic tables Gene can build, we need to divide the total amount of wood he has by the amount of wood needed for one table.

So, the equation is 18.9 (total yards of wood) divided by 6.3 (yards needed for one table) equals p (number of picnic tables).

Step 4: Solve the equation. When you divide 18.9 by 6.3, you get 3.

Therefore, Gene can build 3 picnic tables with the amount of wood he has. The statement about building 12.6 picnic tables seems to be a mistake.
