Show all work. Last fall, a gardener planted 64 iris bulbs. She found that only 56 of the bulbs bloomed in the spring.
\n" ); document.write( "•Find the empirical probability that an iris bulb of this type will bloom. Give answer as a fraction in lowest terms.
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 56/64 = 7/8
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "•How many of the bulbs should she plant next fall if she would like at least 59 to bloom?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be number she should plant.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Inequality:::::
\n" ); document.write( "Solve (7/8)x >= 59
\n" ); document.write( "x >= (8/7)*59 = 68 when rounded up
\n" ); document.write( "=====================================
