Question 70782: Please help me with this problem:
If the numerator of a fraction is randomly selected from the set {1,3,5,7,9} and the denominator is randomly selected from the set {1,2,3,4,5}, what is the probability that the decimal representation of the fraction is a terminating decimal? Express your answer as a common fraction.

We know that all the fractions with 1,2,4, and 5 and terminating.
1/3 is not terminating
5/3 is not
7/3 is not
So 3 are not terminating
Total = 5*5 = 25
3/25
