Final answer:

The probability of drawing a black card from a special deck of 108 equally distributed color cards is 1/4 or 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about calculating the probability of drawing a black card from a special deck of 108 cards where the number of cards of each color (red, yellow, green, and black) is equal.

Since the deck contains 108 cards and there are four colors of equal number, each color must have 108 / 4 = 27 cards. To find the probability of drawing a black card, we take the number of black cards (27) and divide it by the total number of cards (108).

Therefore, the probability of drawing a black card is 27/108 which simplifies to 1/4 or 0.25. Hence, there is a 25% chance that a randomly chosen card from this deck will be black.
