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 slept per day for both the cat and the baby.
The cat slept for a total of 18 hours in the week. Since there are 7 days in a week, we divide 18 by 7 to find the average number of hours slept per day:
18 hours / 7 days ≈ 2.57 hours per day (rounded to two decimal places)
The baby slept for a total of 91 hours in the week. Again, dividing by 7:
91 hours / 7 days ≈ 13 hours per day (rounded to two decimal places)
Since the baby slept for more hours per day (approximately 13 hours) compared to the cat (approximately 2.57 hours), option d. the baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat is the correct answer.
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 they sleep per day.
For the cat:
If the cat slept for 18 hours in a week, then the average number of hours per day is 18 divided by 7 (days in a week). Using a calculator, we can find that the average is approximately 2.57 hours per day.
For the baby:
If the baby slept for a total of 91 hours in a week, then the average number of hours per day is 91 divided by 7. Using a calculator, we can find that the average is approximately 13 hours per day.
Now, let's compare the averages:
a. If both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping:
The cat sleeps approximately 2.57 hours per day, which is less than half of 24 hours. However, the baby sleeps approximately 13 hours per day, which is more than half of 24 hours. So, option a is not correct.
b. If the cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week:
Since we calculated earlier that the cat slept for 18 hours and the baby slept for 91 hours in a week, these numbers are not the same. So, option b is not correct.
c. If the cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby:
We found that the cat sleeps approximately 2.57 hours per day, which is less than the baby's average of 13 hours per day. So, option c is correct.
d. If the baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat:
Since we already determined that the cat sleeps fewer hours per day than the baby, option d is not correct.
Therefore, the answer is option c. The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
