Hi there!

We can start off by taking out some key information from this problem.

- 6 flowers in the vase.
- 3 are roses. (3/6)
- 2 are peonies. (2/6)
- 1 is a Lily. (1/6)

By converting all of the flowers to have a common denominator we can clearly see that 1/6 of the flowers are lilies.
2/3 are lilies. this is because 1/3 are peonies. this is only logical since the 2/3 would fill the remainder

hope this helps
