12
1
24
4

Answer 1

12 is the stem

Explanation:

The last digit ( or the ones place) is the leaf. Everything else is the stem

So for 124, the ones digit is the leaf. 4 is the leaf

Everything else is the stem 12 is the stem

12|4

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

Note that for the "leaf" or the right side, it is only the one's place value. The left side, or the "stem" contains the tens place as well as anything greater.

124 in a stem-and-leaf plot is seen as: 12 | 4, in which 12 is your stem, and 4 is your leaf.
