you are playing a card game with a full deck of 52 cards. you win if you draw a red card that is a multiple of 5. what are your chances of winning on your first draw?
1 answer
There are two red cards in each suit that are multiples of ten: 5 and 10. There are two red suits: hearts and diamonds. Therefore there are four cards that are red AND multiples of 10. Your chances of drawing a red card that is a multiple of ten is then 4 out of 52. Reduce to get your chances.
