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.(1 point)

Both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.

The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.

The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
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 number of hours they sleep per day.
To find the average number of hours the cat sleeps per day, we divide the total number of hours the cat slept in a week (18 hours per day x 7 days = 126 hours) by the number of days in a week (7 days).
Average hours of cat's sleep per day = 126 hours / 7 days = 18 hours.
To find the average number of hours the baby sleeps per day, we divide the total number of hours the baby slept in a week (91 hours total) by the number of days in a week (7 days).
Average hours of baby's sleep per day = 91 hours / 7 days = 13 hours.
Comparing the averages, we can conclude that the cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
