Last week Malika’s castle 18 hours each day her baby slept 91 hours total for the week compare the proportional relationship of the numbers of hours, the cat and baby sleep each day
A. The cat baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.
B. The cat slept fewer hours per day then the cat.
C. The baby slept fewer hours per day then the cat
D.both the cat and baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping
To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we need to find out how many hours each of them sleep on average per day.
Let's start with the cat:
Last week, the cat slept a total of 91 hours for the week. Since there are 7 days in a week, we divide 91 by 7 to find the average number of hours the cat slept per day:
91 hours / 7 days ≈ 13 hours per day
Now let's calculate the average number of hours the baby slept per day:
Malika's baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week, just like the cat. Since there are 7 days in a week, we divide 91 by 7 to find the average number of hours the baby slept per day:
91 hours / 7 days ≈ 13 hours per day
Therefore, the cat and baby both slept an average of 13 hours per day.
Comparing the values, we see that:
A. The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours in total for the week. (Correct)
B. The cat did not sleep fewer hours per day than the baby.
C. The baby did not sleep fewer hours per day than the cat.
D. Both the cat and the baby did not spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.
So, the correct answer is A. The cat and baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.
To compare the proportional relationship between the hours that Malika's cat and baby sleep each day, we first need to calculate the average hours each of them slept per day.
1. Calculate the cat's average sleep per day: Since the cat slept 18 hours each day and there are 7 days in a week, we can calculate the average daily sleep for the cat by dividing the total sleep hours of the cat by the number of days in a week:
Average daily cat sleep = (Total cat sleep hours for the week) / (Number of days in the week)
Average daily cat sleep = 18 hours/day
2. Calculate the baby's average sleep per day: The baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week. Dividing this by the number of days in a week gives us the average daily sleep for the baby:
Average daily baby sleep = (Total baby sleep hours for the week) / (Number of days in the week)
Average daily baby sleep = 91 hours / 7 days
Average daily baby sleep ≈ 13 hours/day
Now that we have calculated the average daily sleep for both the cat and the baby, we can compare their proportional relationship.
Comparing the two averages:
Average daily cat sleep = 18 hours/day
Average daily baby sleep ≈ 13 hours/day
Looking at the options:
A. "The cat and baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week." - This is not correct, as the cat slept for 18 hours per day, while the baby slept approximately 13 hours per day.
B. "The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby." - This is not correct, as the cat slept for 18 hours per day, while the baby slept approximately 13 hours per day.
C. "The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat." - This is correct, as the average daily baby sleep is approximately 13 hours, which is less than the average daily cat sleep of 18 hours.
D. "Both the cat and baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping." - This is not correct, as the cat slept for 18 hours per day, which is more than half of the 24-hour day.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
To compare the proportional relationship of the numbers of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we need to divide the total number of hours each of them slept for the week by the number of days in a week (7).
The cat slept 18 hours per day for 7 days, so the total number of hours the cat slept for the week is 18 * 7 = 126 hours.
The baby slept 91 hours for the week also spread across 7 days.
To compare the proportional relationship, we can divide the total number of hours each of them slept for the week by the number of days in a week:
The cat: 126 hours / 7 days = 18 hours per day
The baby: 91 hours / 7 days = 13 hours per day
Now, let's examine the options:
A. The cat and baby did not sleep the same amount of hours per day.
B. The cat did not sleep fewer hours per day than the baby.
C. The baby did not sleep fewer hours per day than the cat.
D. Both the cat and baby do not spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.
Therefore, none of the statements (A, B, C, or D) accurately describe the proportional relationship of the numbers of hours the cat and baby sleep each day.
