Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Kevin went fishing and caught 3 fish. The first fish weighs 1.75 pounds. The second fish weighs 2.4 pounds, and the third fish weighs 0.95 pounds.

Total weight of all these fishes is

$\text{Total weight}=\text{Weight of first fish}+\text{Weight of second fish}+\text{Weight of third fish}$

$T=1.75+2.4+0.95$

$T=5.1$

Kevin catch 5.1 pounds of fish.

Therefore the correct option is D.
