Question

How many heart cards are in a standard 52 cards deck?

Answer 1

Hint: In the above question, we are given a deck of playing cards. As we know, a deck of playing cards has a total of 52 cards. This deck of playing cards is equally divided between four types of cards. These four categories are called hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. These four categories of playing cards are known as suits.

Complete step by step answer:
We are given a deck of playing cards.
We know that a deck of playing cards is equally divided between four types of cards known as suits.
These suits are called hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs respectively.
Now, the deck of \[52\] playing cards is equally divided between these four suits, that means the deck has an equal number of the four suits that are hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs respectively.
We only have to find the number of heart cards in a deck of \[52\] playing cards.
Since, the whole deck of playing cards is divided between four equal parts, therefore we can divide \[52\] by \[4\] to get the actual number of each suit.
Therefore, dividing \[52\] by \[4\] we can write the expression,
\[ \Rightarrow 52 \div 4\]
That gives us,
\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{52}}{4}\]
\[52\] is \[13\] times \[4\] , hence we get
\[ \Rightarrow 13\]
Therefore, there are \[13\] heart cards in a standard \[52\] cards deck.

Note:
Therefore, we can say that there are \[52\] cards in a deck of playing cards that contains \[13\] of each suit of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs.
In that \[13\] cards of each suit, we have ten ordinary cards numbered from \[1\] to \[10\] of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. The number \[1\] card is known as the ace.
The other three remaining cards are a king, a queen, and a jack in each suit.
