Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

Since the first card is replaced before the second draw, each draw is independent of the other. Thus, the probability of drawing a blue card on the first draw is 1/2, and the same is true for the second draw. The probability of two independent events occurring is the product of their probabilities, so the probability of drawing two blue cards is (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4.
