Question

What is the probability of choosing a face card from a deck of playing cards?​

Answer 1

3/13.

Explanation:

There are 12 face cards: 3 of each of the 4 suits.

Since there are 52 cards in one deck, 12/52 = 3/13.

Answer 2

23.07% is your probability of getting a face card from a normal deck.

Explanation:

Face cards include King, Queen, and Jack, and there is one for each suit. A standard deck has 52 cards.

Note that there are 3 face cards per suit, and there are 4 suits in all. Multiply the two numbers together:

3 x 4 = 12

There are 12 suits in all.

Now, divide 12 from 52:

12/52 = 0.2307

Find the percentage. Move the decimal point to the right two place values, and put a percentage sign.

0.2307 = 23.07%

23.07% is your probability of getting a face card from a normal deck.
