Answer 1

Could you reword this? I'm having difficulty understanding. Perhaps use complete sentences...?

Answer 2

Let see... There is 12 plants in total.
- 2 red
- 3 orange
- 4 purple
- 3 OTHER color (Since you only metioned 9 plants in total, so 3 left)
P: Find the the probability that the first flower to bloom is orange.
There's 3 orange and there is 12 plants in total. So there's a 3/12 chance that the first flower to bloom is orange. 3/12 can be simplified to 1/4.
A: 1/4 or 25% chance that the first flower to bloom is orange.
