Answer 1

There are 8 different combinations of color and suit when drawing cards from two different decks. The possible combinations include (R:H), (R:D), (R:C), (R:S), (B:H), (B:D), (B:C), (B:S).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the possible combinations of color and suit when drawing cards from two different decks. Let's consider each deck separately:

For the first deck, there are two possible colors: red (R) and black (B).

For the second deck, there are four possible suits: Hearts (H), Diamonds (D), Clubs (C), and Spades (S).

To find the total number of combinations, we need to multiply the number of choices for each deck. So, there are 2 colors multiplied by 4 suits, giving us a total of 8 different combinations of color and suit.

Given that one possible combination is RED and Hearts (R:H), the other possible combinations are:

(R:D), (R:C), (R:S), (B:H), (B:D), (B:C), (B:S).

Answer 2

A) (1 x 4) + (1 x 4) = 8

There are 8 possible combinations

B) RH:RD:RC:RS:BH:BD:BC:BS
