Here are all the cards





(A♥) 2♥ 3♥ 4♥ 5♥ 6♥ 7♥ 8♥ 9♥ 10♥ J♥ (Q♥) K♥ 

(A♦) 2♦ 3♦ 4♦ 5♦ 6♦ 7♦ 8♦ 9♦ 10♦ J♦ (Q♦) K♦

(A♠) 2♠ 3♠ 4♠ 5♠ 6♠ 7♠ 8♠ 9♠ 10♠ J♠ (Q♠) K♠ 

(A♣) 2♣ 3♣ 4♣ 5♣ 6♣ 7♣ 8♣ 9♣ 10♣ J♣ (Q♣) K♣ 



We want the probability of getting one of the 8 that are

in parentheses out of the total 52.  So the probability is

8 out of 52 or 8/52 which reduces to 2/13.
