Problem

If a single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, in how many ways can a card other than a club be obtained? A card other than a club can be obtained in ways.

Solution

Step 1 :A standard deck of 52 cards contains 4 suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. Each suit has 13 cards: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. Therefore, there are 13 clubs in a deck.

Step 2 :If we want a card that is not a club, we have to exclude the 13 clubs from the total 52 cards in the deck.

Step 3 :Subtract the number of clubs from the total number of cards: \(52 - 13 = 39\).

Step 4 :Final Answer: The number of ways a card other than a club can be obtained from a standard 52-card deck is \(\boxed{39}\).
