Question: Janele wants to figure out the average weight of her cats. She has 4 of them. The first two weigh 12 pounds each. The third weighs 14.7 pounds and the fourth weighs 9.3 pounds. What is their average weight? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The four cats weigh 48 pounds in total because 12 plus 12 plus 14.7 plus 9.3 equals 48. The average weight is 12 pounds because 48 divided by 4 is 12. So the answer is 12.
