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)
