There are 52 cards in a standard deck so that would be the whole in the part/whole equation so
i... There are 13 spade cards and then 3 other aces since there are 4 suits of cards so 16/52 or about 0.30769 or 30.8% rounded

ii....There are 2 reds of each card in a standard deck along with 2 blacks so there would be 2 red kings which would be a 2/52 chance or about 0.0384 or 3.8% rounded

iii.... There are 4 kings and 4 queens in each deck so (52-8)/52 which is a 44/52 chance, 0.8461 about, or 84.6% rounded

iv..., As I said in iii, there are 8 kings and queens so an 8/52 chance, about 0.1538, or 15.4% rounded
