What ratio represents the probability of drawing a red card from a standard deck of 52 cards?

Oh, I think I am certified to answer this question condering that I have just finished that topic in math!

So, if you have 52 cards, and half the deck are red cards and half the deck are black cards, 52/2=26.

26 represents the number of red cards or 1/2 the deck,

so the ratio of red cards to black cards is 1:2
--------------------------

another easy way to do this is to think of red cards being half the deck, so 1/2, 0.5, ect.

all of these converted to a ratio is 1:2

Hope this helped!
the ratio of red cards to ALL the cards = 1/2
