Question

A card is drawn from a pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card will be a king, given that it is a face card. (The face cards are the jacks, queens, and kings. Enter your probability as a fraction.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are 4 kings in a deck of playing cards.

There are 52 cards in a deck.

So the probability is 4 out of 52.

Which is 4/52,

Which can be reduced to 1/13.

4 divided by 4 = 1 and 52 divided by 4 =13.
