A modern deck of cards contains fifty-two cards (thirteen in each of four suits). The four suits are hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. Hearts and diamonds are red, and clubs and spades are black. Each suit consists of cards labeled 2 through 10, followed by jack, queen, king, and ace. Face cards are the jack, queen, and king; and picture cards are the jack, queen, king, and ace.

Determine how many cards, in an ordinary deck of fifty-two, fit the description.
2's or 6's

There are four cards labelled '2' and there are four cards labelled '6'. Therefore, number of cards 2's or 6's = 4 + 4 = 8
