Tim's garden is divided into 3 sections.
There are three times as many pepper plants as cucumber plants.
There are twice as many tomato plants as pepper plants.
If there are 8 cucumber plants, how many tomato plants are there?
Answer: 48
Explanation:
Work backwards.
There are three times as many pepper plants as cucumber plants. There are 8 cucumber plants.
There are \(3*8=24\) pepper plants.
There are twice as many tomato plants as pepper plants. There are 24 pepper plants.
There are \(24*2=48\) tomato plants.
