In a deck of 52 playing cards, what is the probability of drawing a club card and than a second club card without replacement?

Work Shown:

13/52 represents the probability of drawing a club card because there are 13 clubs out of 52 total.

After we've selected that card, and we don't replace it, we have 13-1 = 12 clubs left out of 52-1 = 51 total left. The probability of selecting another club is 12/51

Multiplying the fractions formed gets us

(13/52)*(12/51)

(13*12)/(52*51)

(13*4*3)/(4*13*3*17)

1/17

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5

60: 45 =12: 9 =4: 3 so the answer is 4: 3
