Thanks very much!

13/52 = 1/4 = ?

To find the probability of pulling a heart from a standard 52-card deck of playing cards, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (number of hearts) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (total number of cards in the deck).

In a standard deck of 52 cards, there are 13 hearts. Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is 13.

The total number of cards in the deck is 52.

To find the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (13) by the total number of possible outcomes (52).

So, the probability of pulling a heart from a standard deck of playing cards is 13/52.

Simplifying this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 13. This gives us 1/4.

Therefore, the probability is 1/4 or 0.25.

Hence, the correct answer is A. .25.
