The first digit is one of {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}, and the last digit is one of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

If the first digit is one of {1, 3, 5} (3 choices), then the last digit is one of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} minus whatever is picked for the first digit (4 choices, and the remaining eight digits can be arranged in 8! ways, so there are 12*8! possible permutations.

If the first digit is one of {7, 9} (2 choices, then the last digit is one of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} (5 choices), and again there are 8! ways of arranging the remaining digits, so there are 10*8! possible permutations.

Then the total number of permutations that fit the criteria is 12*8! + 10*8! = 22*8!. There are 10! total permutations that can be made overall, so the probability of randomly picking one we want is

\dfrac{22\cdot8!}{10!}=\dfrac{22}{10\cdot9}=\boxed{\dfrac{11}{45}}

Can someone tell me what is 8/9+3/5
I am Lyosha [343]
Okay I am going to explain to you and show you how to get the correct answer.

Fist you need to find the Greatest common factor which is 45 because 5×9=45

8/9=40/45

+3/5=27/45
__________
67/45 is reduced to 1 22/45
5 goes into 45 9 times so 3 times 7 equals 27 and 9 goes into 45 5 times so 8 times 5 equals 40 you add both numbers up and get 67. 67 can't go into 45 so you subtract 67 from 45. 45 goes into 67 1 time so that is your whole the number. 22 is left over so that is your numerator. The denominator remains the same.
