Michelle ate a watermelon with 81 seeds. She picked out 1/9 of all the seeds to plant in her backyard. But her mother said there is no room for that many watermelon plants, so her mom only let her plant 1/3 of the seeds she had chosen. How many watermelon seeds was she allowed to plant in her backyard?
