okay thanks what makes you sure?

anonymous · Answer

i dont thing the 'black' part has anything to do with it, but we can compute anyway.  there are 26 black cards and of those 8 are 2,3,4, or 5 so it is $$\frac{8}{26}=\frac{4}{13}$$

anonymous · Answer

there are 8 total cards in question (4 cards x 2 per card(black)) out of 26 black cards total..8/26 = 4/13
