    1/4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in her homeroom. She randomly selects two students. The total number of students is 25.

    The probability of choosing one girl is:

    15 / 25 = 3 / 5

    Now, 24 students are left.

    The probability of choosing one boy is:

    10 / 24 = 5 / 12

    Therefore, the probability of choosing one girl and one boy is:

    3 / 5 * 5 / 12

    = 3 / 12

    = 1/4
