Answer:

The answer is a). 5/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the seventh graders there are 4 Boys + 2 Girls which totals 6 students.

  • The probability that a girl will be picked from the <em>seventh graders is 2/6</em>

For the eighth graders, there are 3 Boys + 5 Girls which totals 8 students

  • The probability that a girl will be picked from the <em>eighth graders is 5/8</em>

To find the<u> probability that both are girls</u>, we multiply the two fractions together:

  • 2/6 * 5/8 = 5/24
