Answer 1

To determine who ate more than 1.2 ounces of pretzels, we can calculate the weight of pretzels consumed by each person based on the number of servings they ate and the weight of one serving (0.9 ounces).

1. Kate:

   • Servings: 1.9
   • Weight: 1.9 * 0.9 = 1.71 ounces

2. Paul:

   • Servings: 1.3
   • Weight: 1.3 * 0.9 = 1.17 ounces

3. Ian:

   • Servings: 1
   • Weight: 1 * 0.9 = 0.9 ounces

4. Aidan:

   • Servings: 0.7
   • Weight: 0.7 * 0.9 = 0.63 ounces

5. Ava:

   • Servings: 1.4
   • Weight: 1.4 * 0.9 = 1.26 ounces

Now we can summarize who ate more than 1.2 ounces:

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

Conclusion

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

• Kate
• Ava
