To find out how many baseball cards Trey has in total, we need to calculate 2/3 of the cards in one drawer and then multiply it by the number of drawers.
First, let's find out how many baseball cards are in one drawer:
Number of baseball cards in one drawer = 2/3 * 120 cards
Number of baseball cards in one drawer = (2/3) * 120
Number of baseball cards in one drawer = 240/3
Number of baseball cards in one drawer = 80
Since there are 3 drawers in total, the number of baseball cards Trey has in total is:
Number of baseball cards in total = Number of baseball cards in one drawer * Number of drawers
Number of baseball cards in total = 80 * 3
Number of baseball cards in total = 240
Now, to find out how many cards Trey will trade, we need to calculate 1/4 of the total number of baseball cards:
Number of cards Trey will trade = 1/4 * Number of baseball cards in total
Number of cards Trey will trade = (1/4) * 240
Number of cards Trey will trade = 240/4
Number of cards Trey will trade = 60
Therefore, Trey will trade 60 baseball cards.
