Question

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the number of broken crayons in each crayon box at a preschool. What is the greatest number of broken crayons in a box? A 7 crayons B 47 crayons c 477 crayons d 1469 crayons

Answer 1

47

Explanation:

Values on a stem and leaf plot can be obtained by using the key :

Stem | leaf

With each value in the stem representing the first digit and the value in the leaf denoting the second digit.

The highest stem value here is 4 and the highest leaf value is 7.

Hence, the highest number of broken crayon is 47.
