She then turns one tile face up and finds the picture of a plant on it. She removes this tile from the mat and turns over another tile without looking. What is the probability that the second tile that Tania turns over has a plant on it?

The probability that the second tile has a plant on it is the number of tiles with pictures of plants (5) divided by the total number of tiles (8).

The probability is 5/8. so we divide that and we get 0.625 in decimal form and it is the same thing as 62.5% so that would be your answer.
