There are 12 face cards in a normal deck. Half, or six, of them are red.
Your odds of pulling a red face card from a normal deck, then, are 6 in 52, or 1 in 8.66666

There are 6 red face cards (3 diamonds and 3 hearts). There are 52 cards in a deck. So the probability is 6/52. (Aces do not have faces.)

1/2 probability of drawing a red face card. Half the cards are red and half are black.

Well, there are 8 of them (AKQJ), so it would be 8/52, which reduces to 2/13.

50% Half of the deck is black and the other half is red. so chance is 50/50.
