Answer:

23/26

Explanation:

A standard deck of cards has 52 cards.

The cards are divided into 13 cards of each of 4 suits.

2 suits are black and 2 suits are red.

Each suit has 3 face cards. Since there are 2 black suits, there are 6 black face cards.

The total number of cards in a deck is 52.

52 - 6 = 46

There are 46 cards that are not black suit cards out of 52 total cards.

p(not black face card) = 46/52 = 23/26
