Question

What is the average weight of the kittens in the shelter?
Please explain!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

You should add the weights of each kitten and then divide by the number of kittens. Ex. There are 5 kittens weighing 2, 1, 3, 2, and 2. So you would add those to get 10 and divide by the number of kittens which is 5 to get an average of 2.

So in this case you would first add the weight of the kittens

Then divide that by the number of kittens

Then the quotient would be the average of the weight of the kittens in the shelter.
