Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

We need to divide the total number of tables \( t \) equally among 3 picnic areas. So we use division.

Step2: Write the expression

To find the number of tables per area, we divide \( t \) by 3, which is written as \( \frac{t}{3} \) or \( t\div3 \).

Answer:

\(\frac{t}{3}\) (or \(t\div3\))
