To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you need to sum their weights and then divide by the number of kittens.
The sum of the weights is:
1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 6.0 pounds
There are 5 kittens, so you divide the total weight by the number of kittens to find the average weight:
6.0 pounds ÷ 5 kittens = 1.2 pounds
The average weight of the kittens is 1.2 pounds.
