Answer:
5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The line plot shows that we have 3 kittens with 1/2 pounds, 2 kittens with 1 pound and 1 kitten with 1 1/2 pound.
So, to find the total weight of the kittens in the shelter, we can multiply the number of kittens by their weights, and then sum then all:
Total weight = 3 * (1/2) + 2 * 1 + 1 * (1 + 1/2)
Total weight = 3/2 + 2 + 3/2 = (3 + 4 + 3)/2 = 10/2 = 5 pounds
