A standard deck of playing cards contains 52 cards, including 4 suits of 13 cards each. If one card is drawn at random, what is the probability of drawing a face card (jack, queen, or king)?

1/4
1/13
3/52
12/52
There are 3 face cards of each suit (jack, queen, king), making a total of 3 x 4 = 12 face cards in the deck.
The total number of cards in the deck is 52.
Therefore, the probability of drawing a face card is 12/52 or simplified to 3/13.
So the correct answer is 3/13.
