Answer:

7/20

Explanation:

So first we know that there are a total od 25 students

15+10=25

And the probability of choosing the first girl is 15/25 or 3/5 simpler terms.

Now to be able to choose another girl in a row just multiply the then probability

So we started off with 25, if a girl was choosen, the population would b 24

and with 24, there is a missing girl so instead of 15 it is 14

now 14/24 or 7/12 simplified

multiply the two

7/12*3/5=21/60

Simplified

7/20
