April 9th Baseball Cards You and your father collect baseball cards. Last year, when your Dad had 40 cards, he had twice as many as you. By the time your birthday arrived, you had doubled your collection. Then you got 1/6 of Dad's collection and had 51 cards altogether. At that point, your Mom suggested that your Dad give you enough cards to make your collections equal. How many cards should he give you and how many cards will each of you have? Be careful! You have to work backwards in some parts and think through all the steps!
