We have the numbers 1 through 8 on this wheel. So let's list them all out

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Of that list above, the following numbers are odd:

1, 3, 5, 7

And of the list of 8 numbers above, the following numbers are greater than 3:

4, 5, 6, 7, 8

=======================================================

The following numbers are either odd or greater than 3

1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Notice how I just combined the last two lists to form this next one.

There are 7 numbers in this list (the only number left out is 2). This is out of 8 numbers total.

So the probability, as a fraction, is
