You weigh 5 kittens all from the same litter and get the following data (in pounds): 1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4. Calculate the average weight of the kittens, in pounds

Answer 1

To find the average weight of the kittens, you can follow these steps:

1. Add up the weights of all the kittens: \[ 1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 6.1 \text{ pounds} \]

2. Divide the total weight by the number of kittens: \[ \text{Average weight} = \frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{Number of kittens}} = \frac{6.1}{5} = 1.22 \text{ pounds} \]

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