Twice as many. You have to know how much food each adult cat eats.

To find out how many kittens James can feed with 1.47 pounds of cat food, we need to know how much food an adult cat eats. Let's say that an adult cat eats 0.5 pounds of cat food.
Since each kitten has twice as much cat food as an adult cat, each kitten would eat 1.0 pound of cat food.
To find out how many kittens James can feed, we need to divide 1.47 (the amount of cat food he has) by 1.0 (the amount of cat food each kitten needs):
1.47 รท 1.0 = 1.47
So James can feed 1 kitten with 1.47 pounds of cat food.
