    3243 / 10829 ≈ 0.2995

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 52 cards in a deck. 5 cards are selected, so the number of possible combinations is ₅₂C₅.

    Of the 5 cards selected, 1 is a Jack and 4 are non-Jacks.

    There are 4 Jacks in a deck. The number of ways of choosing 1 Jack from 4 is ₄C₁.

    There are 48 non-Jacks in a deck. The number of ways of choosing 4 non-Jacks from 48 is ₄₈C₄.

    So the probability is:

    P = ₄C₁ ₄₈C₄ / ₅₂C₅

    P = 4 * 194580 / 2598960

    P = 778320 / 2598960

    P = 3243 / 10829

    P ≈ 0.2995

    5/25

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability would be that you randomly select 5 cards so the selection goes above the fraction and the total amout of cards goes below.
