    probability math
    There are 52 cards in a deck. There are 4 Queens. What is the probability that if you cut the deck, you'll get a Queen? Express your answer as a fraction with no spaces. Reduce the fraction to its simplest form.

    Cutting the deck is the same as picking one card. There are 52 total possibilities, and 4 of them are what you want. So, the probability of picking a queen is "4/52" or "1/13".
