Total number of discs = 90

Numbers between 1 and 90 that are divisible by 5 are {5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90}

Therefore, total number of discs having numbers that are divisible by 5 = 18.

\therefore P(getting\ a\ number\ divisible\ by\ 5) = \frac{favourable\ outcomes}{total\ outcomes} = \frac{18}{90}

= \frac{1}{5}
