The poster isn't going to "get a clue" when all you did was dump equations and not explain how or why they work. Makes it a little difficult to apply it to the next problem.
I reckon you're absolutely correct, morgaine.
We are choosing 3 aces out of the 4, hence, C(4,3).
We have to choose 2 of any other card. There are 48 left, so C(48,2)
We are choosing 5 cards out of 52 altogether.
