Question

Nicole has a pack of playing cards & she chooses a card at random. what is the probability that she picks an ace?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/13 (1 in 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

so, there's 4 aces in a standard deck of 52 cards.

so far, we can see this as 4/52 (4 in 52)

these are both divisible by 2, lets go ahead and simplify that to 2/26

still divisible by 2. this then becomes 1 /13

so, she has a 1/13 (1 in 13) chance to get an ace.
