Answer:

11/13 or 84.62%

Explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck. There are 4 aces and 4 kings, 8 total. Subtract 8 from 52 to find the amount of cards that are not aces or kings:

52 - 8 = 44

Therefore, the probability of choosing a card that is not an ace or a king is 44/52, which can be simplified to 11/13. This can also be expressed as a percentage: approximately 84.62%.

Hope this helps! Please feel free to ask me any questions :)
