To find out how many baseball cards Dwight and Ellis will each have after combining their cards and dividing them equally, we first need to add the total number of baseball cards they have.
1. **Total baseball cards**:
- Dwight has 3 baseball cards.
- Ellis has 9 baseball cards.
- Total = \(3 + 9 = 12\) baseball cards.
2. **Dividing the total equally**:
- Since there are 12 baseball cards, and they are dividing them equally between Dwight and Ellis, we divide the total by 2.
- \(12 \div 2 = 6\).
Therefore, after combining their baseball cards and dividing them equally, each one of them will have **6 baseball cards**.
