We are going to be checking each statement in order to find which of them are correct:
<h2>5/6 < 6/8 - 5/6 is smaller than 6/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is smaller than 5/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>
4/6 < 5/8 - 4/6 is smaller than 5/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 5/8 is smaller than 4/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>
2/6 = 3/8 - 2/6 is equal to 3/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is bigger than 2/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>
3/6 = 4/8 - 3/6 is equal to 4/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 4/8 is equal to 3/6. Then this statement is true.

Answer: 3/6 = 4/8</h2>
The answer is B) 2/13.
An easy way to figure this out is to find what the unsimplified probability would be:
Since there are 8 kings and queens in total, the number is:
8/52
But, since these are both even numbers, they can be simplified.
1/4 x 8 = 2
1/4 x 52 = 13
2/13
Since 13 is a prime number, the answer cannot be simplified anymore.
