Make a stem and leaf plot of the students heights. (One of the students height is 126 cm)

Dont know how to start with 3 digits

I searched Google under the key words "stem and leaf plots in math" to get these possible sources:

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/stemleaf.htm
http://www.glencoe.com/sec/math/studytools/cgi-bin/msgQuiz.php4?isbn=0-02-833050-1&chapter=2&lesson=6

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps.

To create a stem and leaf plot for the students' heights, follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the range of heights.
- Take a note of the minimum and maximum height values among the students.

Step 2: Determine the stems.
- The stem represents the tens digit(s) of the heights.
- For example, if the minimum height is 100 cm and the maximum height is 150 cm, the possible stems are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

Step 3: Record the leaves.
- The leaves represent the units digit of the heights.
- For each height, write down the units digit in the corresponding stem row.

For example, if one of the students' heights is 126 cm:
- The stem would be 12 (tens digit).
- The leaf would be 6 (units digit).
- So, in the stem row 12, write down the leaf 6.

Here is an example of a stem and leaf plot for a set of student heights:

Stem | Leaves
------------
10 | 5
11 | 0 3 4 7
12 | 2 6 6
13 |
14 | 5 5
15 |

In this example:
- The stem represents the tens digit.
- The leaves represent the units digit.

Note: If there are multiple occurrences of the same height, place the leaves in ascending order.
