Answer 1

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

The weights given are:

1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4.

First, sum the weights:

1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 5.1

Now, divide by the number of kittens (5):

Average weight = Total weight / Number of kittens Average weight = 5.1 / 5 = 1.02

So, the average weight of the kittens is 1.02 pounds.

Given the options provided, none of them match exactly, but the closest one to our calculated average weight is: 1.0.
