Answer:

4/663

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four queens.  The probability that the first card is a queen is 4/52.

There are four kings.  There are 51 cards left after the first card has been drawn, so the probability that the second card is a king is 4/51.

Therefore, the probability that the first card is a queen AND the second card is a king is:

P = 4/52 × 4/51

P = 4/663
