A stem-and-leaf plot with decimals 2020-04-02
From Renee:
I am an AP Statistics student who is reviewing for the exam.

On one of my review worksheets, we have to create a stem-and-leaf plot for values with 2 decimal places (i.e. 9.14, 8.14, 8.74, 8.77, 9.26, 8.1, 6.13, 3.1, 9.13, 7.26, and 4.74).

How would I make the stem-and-leaf plot for this? I've already searched your database and nothing popped up.

If you could help me, that would be great. Thank you!

A circle in a square 2020-04-02
From Sabra:
Hello, I have twins in the 7th grade that are learning how to find circumference of circles. I am struggling with figuring out how to help my children to find the answer to this question:

Tye has a square piece of yellow felt that has an area of 81 square inches. She wants to cut the largest circle possible from the material to create a sun for her art project. What is the area of the felt circle? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

I wasn't sure if I am to find the area of the circle through finding the area of the square or what steps we needed to follow to find the answer. Once I can see how one is worked out step-by-step, I usually can help them along with questions that are similar.

Is there an equation to find what percent of 0 is 1? 2020-03-09
From Asher:
Question: Is there an equation to find what percent of 0 is 1.

I remember learning quite a long time ago that the answer inst 0 and it isn't infinity. I'm pretty sure it was something like %=0 approaching infinity or %=1 approaching infinity. And I know it depends what value you assign the numbers i.e. dollars or temperature. Furthermore, is asking "what percent 1 dollar is of 0 dollars" the same question as "what percent profit do you make from selling something worth 0 dollars for 1 dollar."

Thank you for your time and consideration -Asher
