Aubrey is planting tomatoes and cucumbers in her garden. For each row of tomato plants, she is planting 2 rows of cucumbers. She has enough room for 15 rows of plants in total. There is enough space for 8 tomato plants in each row. If each plant produces 3 tomatoes, how many tomatoes will she have in total?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:

Since one out of every 3 rows will contain tomato plants, there will be 15 / 3 = 5 rows of tomato plants. This gives her enough room to plant 5 rows * 8 plants / row = 40 tomato plants. The plants will produce a total of 40 * 3 = 120 tomatoes.
Thus, the answer is 120.
