Answer 1

the average of wieght od the kittens in the slether?

Answer 2

The combined weight of all the kittens is 5 pounds.

Explanation:

The distribution of kittens according to their weights is as follows:

Weight (W) No. of Kittens (f)

`(1)/(4)` pounds 2

`(3)/(8)` pounds 3

`(1)/(2)` pounds 3

`(5)/(8)` pounds 3

Compute the combined weight of all kittens as follows:

Total weight = ∑ (W × f)

`=((1)/(4)* 2)+((3)/(8)* 3)+((1)/(2)* 3)+((5)/(8)* 3)`

`=(1)/(2)+(9)/(8)+(3)/(2)+(15)/(8)`

`=(4+9+12+15)/(8)`

`=(40)/(8)`

`=5`

Thus, the combined weight of all the kittens is 5 pounds.
