16/52 or 4/13 when reduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/52 is for the Jack card since there are 4 jack cards out of a total of 52 cards.

12/52 is for the face cards since there are 12 face cards out of a total of 52 cards.

Since the problem says OR, this means one or the other, so you will be adding those two fractions together. If the problem said AND, this would mean that you have to multiply since both would have to occur.
