18 divide by 2 =9 9 divided by 3 x2 = 6 9-6=3 that haven't bloomed

Assuming that Naomi has 18 lillies totally, (including those that haven't bloomed):

Yesterday 1/2 * 18 = 9 bloomed.
That leaves 18 - 9 = 9 not yet bloomed yesterday.
Of those 9, 2/3 of them bloomed today.
so 2/3 * 9 = 6 bloomed today.

9 + 6 = 15 have bloomed in total then.

18 - 15 = 3

3 lilies have not bloomed yet.
