Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of a newborn kitten= [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]pounds

We have to find find the mass of a kitten

As per the given information. 1 lb= 0.45 kg

Let the mass of a kitten be x

By using means and extremes,

1 : 0.45 :: x :  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{0.45}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{4} }{x}[/tex]

x= [tex]\frac{0.45}{4}[/tex]

x=0.1125 kg
