Question 1026499
So we have a total of 3+6 = 9 probabilities. We pick one, it's a boy. The chance of that is 6/9 (six in nine). Take out a boy and we have 5 boys left and a total of 3+5 = 8 girls & boys.
So, now we have a chance of 5/8 of picking out a boy.
6/9*5/8 = 30/72 divide and you get 0.4167, now divide by 100 to get the percentage and you get 41.67% is your chance of picking two boys.
