Answer 1

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

The weights of the kittens are: 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4.

First, add the weights:

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

Now, divide by the number of kittens (5):

Average weight = 6.1 / 5 = 1.22 pounds.

Therefore, the closest response to the average weight is 1.2 pounds.
