Question
### Stem and Leaf Plot: Tree Heights

#### Overview

This stem and leaf plot visually represents the height of several trees as measured in feet and inches.

#### Plot Explanation

**Height in Feet and Inches of Several Trees**

```
Stem (Feet) | Leaves (Inches)
5           | 0, 0, 2, 4, 4, 4, 7
6           | 5, 6
7           | 0, 1, 1, 8, 11
8           | 5
```

In this plot:
- The "stem" represents the height in feet.
- The "leaves" represent the inches.

#### Example Interpretation
- The first row ("5 | 0, 0, 2, 4, 4, 4, 7") indicates that there are trees measuring 5 feet and 0 inches, 5 feet and 2 inches, 5 feet and 4 inches (thrice), and 5 feet and 7 inches.
- The second row ("6 | 5, 6") indicates trees that are 6 feet and 5 inches and 6 feet and 6 inches.
- Similarly, the third and fourth rows indicate tree heights for 7 and 8 feet.

#### Question

**What is the number of trees that are LESS than 7 feet tall?**

### Input Box

An input box is available for answers.

```
[ ]
```

**Explanation**: 
You need to count all the values from the stems 5 and 6. Only the trees in the first two rows of the plot are less than 7 feet tall.
