Answer: 1/3

==============================================

Explanation:

We don't know the card's actual value, but we do know 100% it is a face card. So we ignore any other card.

There are 12 face cards since we have 4 kings, 4 queens and 4 jacks.

Of those 12 face cards, 4 are a queen.

The probability of getting a queen, given we know the card is a face card, is 4/12 = 1/3.
