Let’s solve each stem-and-leaf plot one by one. Remember:
→ The
stem is the first digit (or digits) of the number — usually the tens place.
→ The
leaf is the last digit — usually the ones place.
→ We list stems in order from smallest to largest, and for each stem, we list the leaves in order too.

Problem 1: Data = 12, 23, 35, 23, 14, 25, 32, 18
Step 1: Sort the data → 12, 14, 18, 23, 23, 25, 32, 35
Step 2: Break into stems and leaves:
- 12 → stem=1, leaf=2
- 14 → stem=1, leaf=4
- 18 → stem=1, leaf=8
- 23 → stem=2, leaf=3
- 23 → stem=2, leaf=3
- 25 → stem=2, leaf=5
- 32 → stem=3, leaf=2
- 35 → stem=3, leaf=5
Now write it as a plot:
Stem | Leaf
1 | 2 4 8
2 | 3 3 5
3 | 2 5
✔ Done!
