Jason bought 8 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. the next day his dog ate half of his collection. there are now only 40 cards left. how many cards did jason start with

because 1.2 isnt half of 6 duh

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
