Answer 1

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

The weights are: 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4

First, sum the weights:

1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 6.1

Next, divide by the number of kittens (which is 5):

Average weight = 6.1 / 5 = 1.22

Therefore, the average weight of the kittens is 1.22 pounds.

Since 1.22 is not one of the options given (1.0, 1.15, 1.2, 1.3), the closest you can choose here would be 1.2.

So the final answer is:

1.2
