Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that the ratio given (3:2) represents the distribution of roses to lilies in the garden.

Step 1: Add the two parts of the ratio together. 3 (for roses) + 2 (for lilies) = 5 parts in total.

Step 2: The average number of roses and lilies is given as 180. This means that the total number of flowers (roses + lilies) in the garden is 180 * 2 = 360.

Step 3: Now, we know that the 5 parts (from the ratio) represent 360 flowers. So, 1 part represents 360 / 5 = 72 flowers.

Step 4: The number of lilies is represented by 2 parts (from the ratio). So, the number of lilies in the garden is 2 * 72 = 144.

So, there are 144 lilies in the garden.
