One of these 16


 
A♥                                              J♥  Q♥  K♥ 
A♦                                              J♦  Q♦  K♦
A♠                                              J♠  Q♠  K♠  
A♣                                              J♣  Q♣  K♣ 

out of these 52


 
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♣ 

That's 16 out of 52 or 16/52 which reduces to 4/13.

You do the other one.
