Last week, Malika's cat slept 18 hours each day. Her baby slept 91 hours total for the week. Compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day.
The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
Both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.
The baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week, which means the baby slept an average of 91/7 = 13 hours per day.
The cat slept 18 hours each day for the week.
Therefore, the baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we need to calculate the average hours of sleep per day for each.
The cat slept 18 hours each day, and since there are 7 days in a week, the total hours of sleep for the cat is 18 * 7 = 126 hours.
The baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week.
To find the average hours of sleep per day for the baby, we divide the total hours of sleep by the number of days in a week: 91 / 7 = 13 hours.
Comparing the average hours of sleep per day, we can see that the cat slept more than the baby. So, the correct answer is:
The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we need to calculate the average number of hours each of them slept per day.
First, let's find the average number of hours the cat slept per day. We know that the cat slept 18 hours each day, so to find the average, we divide the total hours slept by the number of days in a week (7 days):
Average hours cat slept per day = (18 hours/day) / (7 days/week) = 2.57 hours/day (rounded to two decimal places)
Next, let's find the average number of hours the baby slept per day. We know that the baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week, so to find the average, we divide the total hours slept by the number of days in a week (7 days):
Average hours baby slept per day = (91 hours/week) / (7 days/week) = 13 hours/day
Comparing the two averages, we can see that the baby slept more hours per day on average than the cat. Therefore, the correct answer is:
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
