Answer: 8/13

Explanation:

There are 52 cards in a deck.

26 cards are black --> P(Black) = 26/52

Face cards are J, Q, K. There are 12 face cards --> P(Face) = 12/52

6 Face cards are black --> P(both) = 6/52

Face card or Black card - both Face card & Black

(26)/(52) +
(12)/(52) -
(6)/(52)
=(32)/(52)

(32)/(52)/ (4)/(4)=(8)/(13)
