Answer:

31/32

Explanation:

There are 2^5, or 32 combinations.

There is only 1 combination which is all 5 children are boys.

So the probability that will have at least 1 girl is: 1 - 1/32 = 31/32

The chance that they will have one girl is 1:5 because they are having 5 children and one is going to be a girl
