1. 4 kings 4 aces. The answer is 8/52 or reduced to 2/13
2. If this means at the same time, the answer is 0. Hearts are red. Otherwise it is (1/4)(26/51)=26/204 =13/102 if done without replacement.
3. If this means at the same time, this is 3/52, since there are three face cards that are hearts. If it is a heart with the first (1/4) and a face card with the second, resubmit as that. The question says and and not or.
