P%28Club%29=13%2F52=1%2F4
P%28Heart%29=13%2F52=1%2F4
P=P%28Club%29%2BP%28Heart%29=1%2F4%2B1%2F4=1%2F2

P%28Diamond%29=13%2F52=1%2F4
P=P%28Club%29%2BP%28Heart%29%2BP%28Diamond%29=1%2F4%2B1%2F4%2B1%2F4=3%2F4

There are 4 sevens.
There are 13 diamonds.
There is one 7 of diamonds(don't double count it).
P=%284%2B13-1%29%2F52=16%2F52=4%2F13
