Explanation:

Step1: Locate top scatter plot

Identify the upper scatter plot labeled "Female Body Length vs. Mass of Eggs in Sockeye Salmon" (matches the question's species).

Step2: Find 60 mg on y-axis

Locate the 60 mg mark on the vertical (egg mass) axis.

Step3: Match to x-axis value

Find the data point corresponding to 60 mg of eggs, then read the corresponding value on the horizontal (body length) axis, which aligns with 55 cm.
