Explanation:

The question is to figure out the odds not the probability.

So you should use the equation

Number of favorable outcomes/number of unfavorable outcomes

So the equation would look like 25/75=1/3 25 being the favorable outcomes and 75 being the unfavorable outcomes. That's why the answer is 1/3
