Answer 2

The correct option is D.

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.
