Answer 1

33

Explanation:

The mode is the number that sets up the most in an answer.

Remember, the stem is the number that is in the "tens" place value, while the leaves is the number in the "ones" place value.

Expand the stem-leaves:

10, 13, 16, 20, 21, 23, 27, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 33, 33, 33, 38, 39, 46, 46, 46, 48

The number that shows up the most is 33, and is your answer.
