I tried out the decimal answers that I gained from the fraction answer given, but it was incorrect.

i am going to make a guess that it makes no difference what the second card is
imagine reaching in with two hand rather than one, and picking two cards
the probability that the first one is a face card is still $\frac{12}{52}$
