To determine who ate more than 1.2 ounces of pretzels, we first need to calculate the total weight of pretzels each person ate based on the number of servings and the weight of each serving (0.9 ounces).

  1. Kate:
    1.9 servings × 0.9 ounces/serving = 1.71 ounces

  2. Paul:
    1.3 servings × 0.9 ounces/serving = 1.17 ounces

  3. Ian:
    1 serving × 0.9 ounces/serving = 0.9 ounces

  4. Aidan:
    0.7 servings × 0.9 ounces/serving = 0.63 ounces

  5. Ava:
    1.4 servings × 0.9 ounces/serving = 1.26 ounces

Now we compare each person's total 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 and Ava.

So, the correct answers are:

  • Kate
  • Ava
