Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  22/44

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of black is the ratio of black cards to all cards. If the Ace and 2 are removed from each suit, there will be 11 of the 13 cards remaining. 2 suits are black, for a total of 2×11 = 22 black cards. Of course there are 4 suits altogether, for a total of 4×11 = 44 total cards. Then you have ...

  P(black) = (black cards)/(total cards)

  P(black) = 22/44

_____

You are expected to be familiar with the fact that a deck of 52 playing cards consists of 4 suits: diamonds, clubs, hearts, spades. Each suit has 13 cards, identified as Ace, 2, 3, ..., 10, Jack, Queen, King. The clubs and spades are black; the diamonds and hearts are red.
