$\frac{Number of accepted possibilities}{Total possibilities} = \frac{26}{52} = \frac{1}{2}$ $("Number of accepted possibilities")/("Total possibilities")=26/52=1/2$

Explanation:

There are 4 suits in a pack of cards, 2 of which are red. Each suit has 13 cards, so there are $2 \cdot 13 = 26$ $2*13=26$ red cards total. Now there are 52 cards in total, $P (Red face card) = \frac{Number of red face cards}{Number of cards total} = \frac{26}{52} = \frac{1}{2}$ $P("Red face card")=("Number of red face cards")/("Number of cards total")=26/52=1/2$ .
