Answer 1

4/13

Explanation:

Let's list all the cards in a standard deck

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

10

Jack

Queen

King

Ace

And there are 4 of each of these - - - one heart, one spade, one diamond, one club.

Now let's label the PRIME cards.

2 - PRIME

3- PRIME

4

5- PRIME

6

7- PRIME

8

9

10

Jack

Queen

King

Ace

So there are 4 prime numbers, and there are 4 suites, so 4 x 4 = 16 total prime number cards.

Notice that 5 is already a prime number! So we already have that covered!

So 16 are prime (including the number 5) out of 52.

16/52 = 4/13

So your answer is 4/13.
