In a pack of 52 cards, what is the ratio of:
1) hearts to the other suits?
2) aces to the other cards?
There are 4 hearts. There are 12 other suits. so 1:3
I do not understand this question
1:3 and 1:12, respectively.
To determine the ratio of hearts to the other suits or aces to the other cards in a pack of 52 cards, we first need to count the number of hearts and aces, as well as the number of cards in the other suits and the number of cards that are not aces, respectively.
1) Hearts to the other suits:
Count the number of hearts in a deck of cards, which is 13 since there are 13 hearts in total. Then count the number of cards in the other suits, which would be the remaining 39 cards. The ratio of hearts to the other suits can be calculated by dividing the number of hearts by the number of cards in the other suits:
Ratio = Number of Hearts / Number of Cards in Other Suits
Ratio = 13 / 39
Therefore, the ratio of hearts to the other suits is 1:3.
2) Aces to the other cards:
Count the number of aces in a deck of cards, which is 4 since there are four aces in total. To find the number of other cards, subtract the number of aces from the total number of cards in the deck, which is 52 - 4 = 48. The ratio of aces to the other cards can be calculated by dividing the number of aces by the number of other cards:
Ratio = Number of Aces / Number of Other Cards
Ratio = 4 / 48
Therefore, the ratio of aces to the other cards is 1:12.
1 to 4
4 to 52 = 1 to 13
