    0.66 = 66%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If we know that a odd-numbered disk is selected, we know that the number is 1, 3 or 5.

    So, if it is a red disk, is can be number 1 or 3, so we have two possibilities.

    If it is a yellow disk, it needs to be number 5, so we have just one possibility.

    We have a total of 3 possibilities, and 2 of them are with red disks, so the probability is 2/3 = 0.66 = 66%
