easy 6th grade question

There are 54 cards in a deck including jokers, so if you count how many face cards there are and jokers and subtract them from 54 you get 40, then you divide 40 by 2 to get 20/40 since it is even numbered and half of the time you would get an even number. then you divide the die by 2 to get 1/2 and multiply them to get your answer 1/4.

Oops some miscalculations.

More miscalculations.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{26}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the probability of rolling an even number on a die and the probability of drawing an even number in the deck, and then multiply both.

There are the numbers 2, 4, and 6 on a die, and there are 6 numbers in total, so the probability of rolling an even number is 3/6 or 1/2.

The even numbers in a deck are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, so 5 in total. We multiply 5 by 4 because there are 4 of every card and we get 20 even number cards. The probability is 20/52 or 5/13.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{5}{13}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{5}{26}[/tex].
