Answer: 1/28, 3/14, 1/28

Step-by-step explanation: There are two Jokers in the deck. This is 2/56 chance, which is reduced to 1/28. There are 12 face cards: 4 Kings, 4 Queens, and 4 Jacks. This is 12/56, which reduces to 3/14. There are two red aces: The Ace of Diamonds and the Ace of Hearts. This is a s2/56 chance, which reduces to 1/28 chance.
