The average weight of the kittens is (1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4) / 5 = 1.2 pounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1.2.
To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you need to find the sum of their weights and then divide it by the number of kittens.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Add up the weights of all the kittens: 1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 5
2. Count the number of kittens: There are 5 kittens.
3. Divide the sum of the weights by the number of kittens: 5 / 5 = 1.
Therefore, the average weight of the kittens is 1 pound. So the correct response is 1.0.
To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you need to add up all the weights and then divide by the number of kittens. Let's do that:
1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 5.00
Now, divide the sum by the number of kittens (which is 5):
5.00 / 5 = 1.00
Therefore, the average weight of the kittens is 1.00 pound.
