Chapter 9.1, Problem 1QR

Solution

To state: The number of cards in a standard deck.

There are 52 cards in a standard deck.

Given information:

The given statement says to give the number of cards in a standard deck.

Explanation:

A standard deck of cards has four suits: clubs, hearts, spades and diamonds

There are 26 black cards and 26 red cards. The black cards are further divided in 13 each as spade and club.

Similarly, the red cards are divided into 13 cards each as hearts and diamonds.

Each suit has 13 cards: ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, jack, queen, and king

The total cards in a deck are: $13+13+13+13=52$

Therefore, the total cards in a deck are 52.
