What you need to consider is how many jack of spades there are in the deck. The answer is 1. Therefore there is a 1 in 52 chance that the cards will be a jack and spade.

Because only 1 card is drawn and only 1 card in the deck is a jack of spades, the probability of a jack of spades being drawn is 1/52.
