Exploring Stem and Leaf Plots with Fractions

This video tutorial explains how to use stem-and-leaf plots to organize and analyze data, including fractions. It covers the process of placing whole numbers and fractions on the plot, constructing the plot step-by-step, and solving problems using the plot. The video also emphasizes the importance of ordering data from least to greatest and interpreting the plot to answer questions about the data set.
