$\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle 2|3,~5,~8  }$
woud be the way to record numbers: 23, 25, 28.

2 is the "tree"
3, 5 and 8 are the "leafs"

(this is an example)

solomonzelman · Answer

Record your numbers in the same form as I recorded 23, 25, and 28.

The number behind the $|$ is the "tree", and so, after recording the numbers this way you wil be able to determine the number of "trees"

Would the answer be 2?

Fill out the graph & count it....

sbuck98 · Answer

For example, if you have a 11, the first number is there, then record the one.... if it's 23, record the 3 next to the 2.  Get it?
