It is 3/5.
It's deduction. You can find the odds of something happening by first finding out the odds of that something not happening. That is converse probability. For instance the odds of rolling a "3" on a 6 sided die. Using converse probability would be 5/6 (5 sides are not the number "3"). 6/6 (six sides in all) - 5/6 = 1/6 is the odds of rolling that "3".
Just take the probability, which is a decimal number between 0 and 1, and convert it into a fraction. For instance, a probability of 0.75 corresponds to odds of 3 in 4.
Odds against A = Probabillity against A / Probability for A Odds against A = (1 - Probabillity for A) / Probability for A 9.8 = (1 - Probabillity for A) / Probability for A 9.8 * Probability for A = 1 - Probability for A 10.8 * Probability for A = 1 Probability for A = 1 / 10.8 Probability for A = 0.0926
5 to 1 to win means the probability of actually winning is 1 to 5, or 0.2. The larger the payout, the longer (or poorer) the odds. Actually, 5 to 1 means 1 chance in 6 or 16.7%. Of course, race track odds may not be the true probablity of winning.

If 'A' is five times more likely than 'B', then the odds of 'A' are 5 to 1, and its probability is [ 83 and 1/3 ] percent.

33.33%, or 0.33
For 3 to 1 odds of winning;Probability of winning:0.25, or;Chance of winning:25%
The probability is 1 - (5/6)3 = 1 - 125/216 = 91/216 = 0.42 approx.
The probability is 0.416667 or 41.67%
If the odds are 179 to 2, the probability of winning is 0.01105, or; the chance of winning is 1.11%
Here are the two for comparison;For 3 to 1 odds of winning;Probability of winning:0.25, or;Chance of winning:25%---------------------For 9 to 1 odds of winning;Probability of winning:0.1, or;Chance of winning:10%
The probability is 0.1241
