If the odds of winning a raffle are 17:214, what is the probability of winning?

Answer 1

would it be 17/214?

Answer 2

17 out of 214.
79%.

17:214 is read like a fraction again.

So if you divide 17/214 you get 79%. Not sure what exact answer you're looking for. But hopefully this can get you started.
