----------------
There are 12 face cards.
---
P(1st face card) = 12/52
---
P(2nd face card) = 11/52
-----
P(2 face cards selected without replacement) = (12*11/52*51)
---
That is the same as 12C2/52C2

You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 12 face cards, 4 each King, Queen and Jack.

The 1st is 12/52
The 2nd is 11/51
--> (12*11/52*51)
= 11/221
