Answer:

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 $\simeq$ 32 ounces to the correct number of significant figures.
