There are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and 5 of them are vowels. Therefore, there are 26 - 5 = 21 consonants.
The probability of selecting a consonant is equal to the number of consonants divided by the total number of letters:
P(consonant) = 21/26
This fraction is already in its simplest form, so the final answer is:
P(consonant) = 21/26
