Answer:

3/13

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability can be calculated as the number of face cards divided by the total number of cards in the deck.

Then, there are 12 face cards:

4 kings + 4 queens + 4 jacks = 12

So, the probability is equal to:


P=(12)/(52)=(3)/(13)

Then, the answer is 3/13
