You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Note: there are 52 cards total and 26 black cards (13 spades and 13 clubs)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(black card) = # of black cards / # of cards total = 26/52=1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the probability is $\"1%2F2\"$ which in decimal form is 0.5 which is a 50% chance. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
