Question

A card is drawn from the deck. What is the probability it is either black face card or a

spade?

Answer 1

about 37% chance or, rounding to the nearest tenth, 36.5% chance

Explanation:

since there are only 6 black face cards out of 52 cards, so the fraction is 6/52

there are also 13 spade cards out of 52 cards, so the fraction is 13/52

to find the percent you have to add the two fractions becuase all you want to do is draw a black face card or a spade card. when you add them you get 19/52

then dividing the fraction gives you .3653846154 on my calculator :)
