A dog has three puppies. Spot weighs 12 ounces. Rascal weighs 9.5 ounces. Socks weighs 10.2 ounces. What is the total weight of the litter expressed to the correct number of significant figures? a. 31.7 ounces
b. 31 ounces
c. 32 ounces
d. 30 ounces
e. 31.70 ounces

c. 32 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The weight of the Spot = 12 ounces

The weight of Rascal = 9.5 ounces;  &

The weight of Socks = 10.2 ounces.

To find the litters' total weight, we will sum all the given number of the puppies.

i.e. Total weight of the litter = (12 + 9.5 + 10.2) ounces

Total weight of the litter = 31.7 ounces

Total weight of the litter 32 ounces to the correct number of significant figures.
