Answer 1

To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you need to sum up all the weights and then divide by the number of kittens.

The weights you provided are: 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4.

First, let's calculate the sum of the weights:

\[ 1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 6.1
\]

Next, divide the sum by the number of kittens (which is 5):

\[ \text{Average} = \frac{6.1}{5} = 1.22 \]

Rounded to two decimal places, the average weight of the kittens is 1.22 pounds.

Since none of the provided options match the calculated average exactly, the closest option is 1.2.
