(Type answer an integer or a fraction. Simplify your answer.)

1/26

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 1 four of spades, and 1 ace of clubs.

So the probability is 2/52, or 1/26.

P (four of spades or ace of clubs) = 1/26

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of 52 cards, there is one four of spaces and one ace of clubs. we want to find the probability of selecting those cards.

P (four of spades or ace of clubs) = four of spades+ace of clubs/total cards

There is 1 four of spades and 1 ace of clubs. 1+1=2

P (four of spades or ace of clubs) = 2/total cards

There are 52 total cards in a deck.

P (four of spades or ace of clubs) = 2/52

This fraction can be simplified. Both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) can be divided by 2.

P (four of spades or ace of clubs) = (2/2) / (52/2)

P (four of spades or ace of clubs) = 1/26
