Answer:

The ODDS that the dart hits a date that is a prime number are 1:1

Explanation:

Odds:

An odd is writen as:

Number of desired outcomes: Number of undesired outcomes.

In this question:

April has 30 days, 15 of which are prime numbers and 15 of which are odd numbers.

So the odds are:

15:15

Simplifying by 15

1:1

The ODDS that the dart hits a date that is a prime number are 1:1
