The answer would be B because there are 4 queens in a deck of cards. with there being 52 cards in a deck, you divide 4 by 52. If you put that into a fraction it’s 4/52. simplified, its 1/13. therefore, there’s a 1/13 chance on getting a queen

Answer:

B) 1/13

Explanation:

This is because as we all know there are four different category of cards - spades, clover, heart and diamond.

In each of these category we have 1 Queen so in total we have 4 Queens

Probability of choosing Queen = 4/52

= 1/13

(This is your answer hope it helps :))
