What are the odds of drawing a 5 from these cards?

1,2,3,4,5

I do not understand how to solve this.

Thanks

there are 5 choices, but only 1 is a success.

So, that means there are 4 wrong choices.

The odds are 4:1 against, or 1:4 in favor.

The probability of a 5 is 1/5.

odds are the ratio of success:failure
So, the answer will be 1:4?
Is that the answer that Steve gave you?
