Let’s note what we know first:

• Conner has 4 game card packets
• He gives 3 of these packets to Kennedy

If each game card packet has 3 cards, that would mean Conner has 12 cards. He then gives 3 of these packets to Kennedy. Let’s set up an equation considering each packet has 3 cards:

3 cards each with 4 packets = 12 total cards

Kennedy receives 3 packets, so:

3 packets • 3 cards each = 9 cards

12 - 9 = 3

Conner has 3 cards left out of the 12 he originally had. This can be represented through the following fraction:

3/12

To find out what fraction he has left, let’s divide both numbers by 3:

3 / 3 = 1

12 / 3 = 4

After giving Kennedy 3 card packets, Conner has 1/4 of his original cards left.

Answer Recap: Conner has 1/4 of his original cards left.
