Solution
There are 2 pieces that
are highlighted out of 4 pieces. Thus, the probability that
a randomly chosen piece is highlighted is 1/2.
Since odds is a ratio of the event happening
to the event not happening, we can simply take a ratio of the number
of pieces unhighlighted to the number of pieces highlighted. In this case
that would be 2:2 which simplifies to
1:1.
