Please help ASAP!

There are 10 girls and 16 boys in a class. The teacher has sticks with each students name on the bag. What is the probability of selecting sticks with a boy’s name and then a girl’s name if the first stick is not replaced?

The probability of pulling a boys name first is 8/13. Then the probably of pulling a girls second is 2/5.
