a. 75%
b. 25%
c. 1/2
d. 3/4

Answer 1

The probability of picking a card with a heart on it from a standard deck of playing cards is 1/4 or 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of picking a card with a heart on it, we need to know the total number of cards and the number of cards with a heart. In a standard deck of playing cards, there are 52 cards and 13 hearts.

Thus, the probability of picking a card with a heart on it is 13/52, which simplifies to 1/4.

Therefore, the answer is c. 1/2.
