You can use the formula for conditional probability as Puzzling did. However in this problem it is easier just to restrict yourself and enumerate the cases that are left.
<span>There are 4 jacks. One of them is a heart. So the probability is 1/4. </span>
<span>If you want to look at what the formula for conditional probability does, it adjusts your probability by restricting the "universe". </span>
<span>P(heart and jack)/P(jack) </span>
<span>= (1/52)/(4/52) = 1/4</span>
Answer:
• subtract eqn(b) from eqn(a);
• find x :
1/4 = 2/8
3/4 = 6/8
2/8 * 3/1 = 6/8
1/4 * 3/1 = 3/4
6 1/8 portions are in 3/4
