Answer 1

To determine which people ate more than 1.2 ounces of pretzels, we need to calculate the total weight of pretzels each person consumed based on the number of servings they ate. Each serving weighs 0.9 ounces.

Here's the calculation for each person:

1. Kate:

   • Servings: 1.9
   • Weight: 1.9 servings × 0.9 ounces/serving = 1.71 ounces

2. Paul:

   • Servings: 1.3
   • Weight: 1.3 servings × 0.9 ounces/serving = 1.17 ounces

3. Ian:

   • Servings: 1
   • Weight: 1 serving × 0.9 ounces/serving = 0.9 ounces

4. Aidan:

   • Servings: 0.7
   • Weight: 0.7 servings × 0.9 ounces/serving = 0.63 ounces

5. Ava:

   • Servings: 1.4
   • Weight: 1.4 servings × 0.9 ounces/serving = 1.26 ounces

Now we compare these weights 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
