Question

There are 4 aces and 4 kings in a standard deck of playing cards. you pick one random card at random. What is the probability of selecting an ace or king?
Note: It has to be a fractaion

Answer 1

Answer:2/3

Step-by-step explanation:There are 52 cards in a standard deck: 13 ordinal cards (Ace - 10, Jack, Queen, King) and 4 of them - one to each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) and so we have

4

×

13

=

52

.

There are 8 cards that fit the question (4 each of aces and kings).

And so in a random draw, the odds of drawing one of those 8 cards out of the total number of 52 is:8/52

which we can simplify:

8/52=2/13
