WRONG ANSWER= BLOCKED

Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

To find our answer, we will divide the wanted outcomes by the total outcomes.

`\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}} =\frac{\text{less than ten days}}{\text{total flower types}}=\frac{3\;\text{types of flowers}}{8\;\text{different flowers}} =(3)/(8)`
