It means that every unit of mini boat requires 2 pounds of wood and 3 ounces of glue.
As such 3 pounds of wood can only be used to build one mini boat and there will be one pound of wood left. With 6 ounces of gold, the builder can build 2 boats (6/3).
However, the wood becomes the limiting factor that determines the number of mini-boats that can be made. Hence with 3 pounds of wood and 6 ounces of glue, the builder can only build a mini-boat.
