Okay, So What We Need To Do Is First Find The Number Of Odd. There Are:
1,3, and 5.
So, There Are Three Odd Numbers. So, That Is 3/6. So, We Need To Do
3 3
-- * -- = ?
6 6

So, 3*3 = 9.
6*6 = 36. So We Have 9/36. Now, Simplify.
9/9 = 1. And 36/9 = 4.
So, Our Probability Answer Is 1/4, So, It Is A. I Hope This Helps!
