Answer:

2/13

Explanation:

To find the probability of drawing a 6 or a king from a standard deck of cards, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (cards that are either a 6 or a king) and the total number of possible outcomes (total number of cards in the deck).

There are 4 kings in a standard deck (one king in each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) and 4 6s (one 6 in each suit).

Total number of favorable outcomes = 4 (4 kings) + 4 (4 6s) = 8

Total number of possible outcomes = 52 (total number of cards in the deck)

Therefore, the probability of drawing a 6 or a king is:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

= 8 / 52

= 2 / 13

So, the probability of drawing a 6 or a king from a standard deck of cards is 2/13.
