hope it will hel you

Answer 2

Answer:

9 / 13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 13 spades, so 52-13 = 39 cards are not spades.

Amongst these 39 cards, three of them are kings, so there are

39 - 3 = 36

cards that are neither a spade nor a king.

So...

P(drawing neither a spade nor a king)

= ( # ways of getting neither a space nor a king ) / ( # ways of drawing a card )

= 36 / 52

= 9 / 13
