Answer 1

Answer: there are a total of 4 aces in the deck of cards. two black and two red.

P(event)= no. of favourable outcomes/ total no. of outcomes

no. of favourable outcomes= 4

total no. of outcomes= 52

P(getting an Ace)= 4/52

=1/13

Answer 2

Total number of aces in a deck = 4
Total number of cards in a deck = 52
(P) of getting an aces = 4/52
= 1/13 (simplified)
