Answer: 2/13
This is because there are 4+4 = 8 cards that are either an ace, or a king, out of 52 total.
Then we'd say 8/52 = 2/13.
Or you can think of it like focusing on one suit only (say clubs) and then seeing we have 2 cards we want (ace of clubs, king of clubs) out of 13 cards total from this specific suit. Hence the 2/13.
