Answer:

A standard deck contains 52 cards with 4 suits and hence 4 tens. The probability of being dealt 3 tens is thus 4/52 x 3/51 x 2/50. The denominator decreases as one card is removed from the deck each time. If the removed card is replaced, there would be no need for the decrease in the denominator.
