3,6,9 are divisible by 3.
There are 4 suits of them.
There are 12 of them total.
P=12%2F51=4%2F13

Well, first you have to figure out how many cards have numbers divisible by three...
That would be the threes, the sixes, and the nines...there are 12 such cards in the deck...
Thus the probability of drawing one would be
12/52 = 3/13
