Question

composition of deck of cards

Answer 1

In a deck of 52 cards, there are 13 cards of each suite namely- Spades, Clubs, Hearts and Diamonds.

13*4=52 cards.

And each suite has 3 face cards. So, there are 12 face cards in all- four each of Jack, Queen and King.

4 suites * 3 face cards in each suite= 12 Face cards.

OR

4 Jacks + 4 Queens + 4 Kings= 12 Face cards
