Let RR, BB, and RB denote, respectively, the events that the chosen card is all red, all black, or the red-black card. Also, let R be the event that the upturned side of the chosen card is red. Then the desired probability is obtained by
$P (R B ∣ R) = \frac{P (R B \cap R)}{P (R)} = \frac{P (R ∣ R B) P (R B)}{P (R ∣ R R) P (R R) + P (R ∣ R B) P (R B) + P (R ∣ B B) P (B B)} = \frac{(\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{1}{3})}{(1) (\frac{1}{3}) + (\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{1}{3}) + 0 (\frac{1}{3})} = \frac{1}{3}$
