Answer 1

In a standard deck of playing cards, there are 52 cards total, consisting of 4 suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. Each suit has one ten.

- The two red tens are:
- 10 of hearts
- 10 of diamonds

- The two black tens are:
- 10 of clubs
- 10 of spades

This means there are a total of 4 tens (two red and two black) in the deck. The probability of drawing a red or black ten is given by the formula:

\[
P(\text{drawing a red or black ten}) = \frac{\text{number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}} = \frac{4}{52}
\]

Now, we can simplify this fraction:

\[
\frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}
\]

Thus, the answer is:

**1131 over 13**
