Answer: 1/13 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation: You put the total amount of aces, which is four, on the top part of your fraction and the total number of 52 cards on the bottom of your fraction. Since four will divide into both numbers, you simplify 4/52 to get 1/13. 4 divided by four is one. 52 divided by 4 is 13. That is how you get your 1/13 from 4/52. Answer was confirmed correct on the test I took. I hope this helps you! Thanks!

Answer:

B 1/2

Explanation:

I looked it up.

But I think it'd be C because there would be 4 aces in the deck, and C has 1/4
