Answer 1

Answer:

Four out of fifty-two(4/52), or one out of thirteen (1/13)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in standard set of cards.

There are 13 ranks of cards, ranging from Ace(1) to King.

There are four cards of each rank. example) Four aces, four jacks etc

From this information, we can then deduce that the probability of selecting a 10 is 4/52 because there are four tens out of fifty-two cards. Simplified, one out of thirteen.

$\frac{4}{52} =\frac{1}{13}$
