Written solution:
There are 44 choices for the thousands digit and 55 choices for each other digit. Divisibility by 44 depends only on the last two digits. Among the 2525 even digit endings, for each tens digit 0,2,4,6,80,2,4,6,8, the ones digit can be 0,4,80,4,8, so 1515 endings work. The desired fraction is 1525=35\frac{15}{25}=\frac{3}{5}.
