What are the odds of getting heads when you flip a coin? And how many jacks are there in a deck of cards? Divide the number of jacks in a deck of cards by 52 and multiply that by the odds of flipping a heads.

but I'm still not coming out with the correct answer.. :/

anonymous · Answer

I know that the odds of getting heads is 1/2 and the odds of getting a jack is 4/52.

anonymous · Answer

I just don't know what the odds are combined.

anonymous · Answer

You need to multiply those together, and if they want a percent multiply that by 100.
