Answer 1

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

Here are the weights of the kittens: 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4

Step 1: Add the weights together.

1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 6.1 pounds

Step 2: Divide by the number of kittens (which is 5).

Average weight = Total weight / Number of kittens

Average weight = 6.1 / 5 = 1.22 pounds

Based on the provided responses, the closest option to 1.22 is 1.2.

So the average weight of the kittens is 1.2 pounds.
