I multiplied 18 times 12 to get the area of the garden, and then I took 2 times 2 to get the area of the plant space. After I got both of the areas, 216 and 4, I divided them and got 54. So I think that 50 is the best estimate of the number of tomato plants that can be planted in the plot. 

The number of tomato plants that can be planted in the plot is 50.

What is the area of a rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is the product of the length and the breadth of the rectangle.

Area required per tomato plant is = 2 × 2 ft² = 4 ft².

Total area of the garden is = 18 × 12 ft² = 216 ft².

The maximum number of tomato plants that can be planted in the plot is = 216 / 4 = 54.

Hence, the best approximate number of tomato plants can be planted is = 50.
