Question

Which shows the stem-and-leaf plot for 1,005 ?

a. 1|005
b. 1|5
c. 10| 05
d. 100|5

Answer 1

in a, 005 actually means 5, so 1 and 5 means 15, that is not the correct answer. b is the same 15, c is 10 and 5 or 105 and d is 100 and 5 or 1005

Answer 2

it depends on what your stem is supposed to be. for example: if the stem was thousands and the leaf was in ones then a would be correct. d cannot be correct unless the stem is in tens and the leaf is in ones. so it really depends on what the units are for stem and leaf.
