    The answer is 62/95. You determine this by calculating the probability of both students being girls.

    Probability first student is girl: 12/20

    Probability second student is girl: 11/19

    Multiply 12/20 * 11/19 = 132/380 or 0.347

    Probability of both students not being girls: 1 - 0.347 = 0.653 or 62/95
