Tuck is doing a magic trick with cards. He uses a standard deck of 52 cards. He asks Ryan to select two cards without replacing them. What is the probability of Ryan selecting a heart, and then selecting a club? (Hint: there are 13 clubs, 13 diamonds, 13 hearts, 13 spades in a deck of cards)

Do you have answer choices?
I'd think it would have something to do with some kind of ratio or fraction maybe but I'm not sure without the answer choices.
A. 13/52 * 13/52
B. 13/52 + 13/52
C. 13/52 * 13/51
D. 13/51 + 13/51
B. 13/52 + 13/52
C. 13/52 * 13/51
D. 13/51 + 13/51
the first one is 13 hearts / 52 total
now you have 13 clubs / 51 total
so
13/52 * 13/51
C
now you have 13 clubs / 51 total
so
13/52 * 13/51
C
