Question

Esmerelda flips a coin and draws a card. What is the possibility that she gets “heads” and a black card?

Answer 1

the possibility of flipping heads is 1 in 2 (1/2)
the possibility of pulling a black card is 26 in 52 (26/52) which equals 1 in 2 (1/2)
multiply those together and you get 1 in 4, 1/4, or a 25%

Answer 2

1/4

The probability of flipping a coin and landing a heads is 1/2. Their are 26 black cards in a standard deck of 52 cards- 26/52 (1/2). Multiply the fractions to get the probability.

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
