Answer 1

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

1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 5.0

Since there are 5 kittens, you divide the sum of their weights by 5:

5.0 / 5 = 1.0

The average weight of the kittens is 1.0 pound.
