let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then divide.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{5}{2}\div 4\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\div \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{8}

Two card are pulled from a normal deck of 52 cards, without replacement.
8090 [49]

Answer:

The probability that both cards that are drawn are hearts is 1/17.

Step-by-Step-Explanation:

First off, know that there are 13 heart cards in the deck of 52 cards. Therefore, the chance of pulling a single heart card is 13/52. Let's say we do pull a heart card. Since there is no replacement for the heart card taken out of the deck, we now have 12 heart cards out of a deck of 51 cards. The chance of pulling out a heart card in now 12/51. To find the probability that both cards drawn out are hearts, multiply the two fractions together: (13/52)⋅(12/51)=156/2652=1/17.

<h2></h2><h2>So hence, your answer is 1/17</h2>
