The leading digit can't be a , so
The are possible digits
One digit is used up, but is
allowed, so there are possible
Two digits used up, so possible
for units digit
----------------------------------
possible, both odd
and even numbers
----------------------------------
As for all the possible even numbers,
The first 2 are possible still
The units digit can only be 9,2, or 4
possible
-----------------------------------
possible even numbers
P( even 3-digit number ) =
-------------------------------------------

Total number of 3-digit numbers, since the first digit can't be 0: 6*6*5 = 180

Number of even 3-digit numbers with final digit 0: 1*6*5 = 30 (since 0 is the final digit, we don't have to worry about possibly choosing it for the first digit, which would not be allowed)
Number of even 3-digit numbers with final digit 2: 1*5*5 = 25 (only 5 choices for the first digit, since it can't be 0; then any 5 of the remaining digits for the second digit)
Number of even 3-digit numbers with final digit 4: 1*5*5 = 25 (same reason)

Total number of even 3-digit numbers: 30+25+25 = 80.

P(even) = 80/180 = 4/9
