Last fall, a gardener planted 87 iris bulbs. She found that only 72 of the bulbs bloomed in the spring.
\n" ); document.write( "1. 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: 72/87
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2. How many of the bulbs should she plant next fall if she would like at least 88 to bloom?
\n" ); document.write( "Solve (72/87)x = 88
\n" ); document.write( "x = (87/72)88
\n" ); document.write( "x = 106.333
\n" ); document.write( "Round up to 107 bulbs (minimum number of bulbs to be planted)
\n" ); document.write( "==============
