Answer 1

To determine which people ate more than 1.2 ounces of pretzels, we first need to calculate the amount of pretzels each person ate in ounces. Since a serving weighs 0.9 ounces, we can multiply the number of servings by 0.9 to find the total weight in ounces.

1. Kate: 1.9 servings
   \( 1.9 , \text{servings} \times 0.9 , \text{ounces/serving} = 1.71 , \text{ounces} \)

2. Paul: 1.3 servings
   \( 1.3 , \text{servings} \times 0.9 , \text{ounces/serving} = 1.17 , \text{ounces} \)

3. Ian: 1 serving
   \( 1 , \text{serving} \times 0.9 , \text{ounces/serving} = 0.9 , \text{ounces} \)

4. Aidan: 0.7 servings
   \( 0.7 , \text{servings} \times 0.9 , \text{ounces/serving} = 0.63 , \text{ounces} \)

5. Ava: 1.4 servings
   \( 1.4 , \text{servings} \times 0.9 , \text{ounces/serving} = 1.26 , \text{ounces} \)

Now, we compare these amounts to 1.2 ounces:

• Kate: 1.71 ounces (more than 1.2 ounces)
• Paul: 1.17 ounces (not more than 1.2 ounces)
• Ian: 0.9 ounces (not more than 1.2 ounces)
• Aidan: 0.63 ounces (not more than 1.2 ounces)
• Ava: 1.26 ounces (more than 1.2 ounces)

The people who ate more than 1.2 ounces of pretzels are:

• Kate
• Ava
