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)
Responses
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
Both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.

The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
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.
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.
For the cat:
18 hours each day
And for the baby:
91 hours total for the week
To find the average number of hours slept per day, we divide the total number of hours slept by 7 (since there are 7 days in a week):
91 hours / 7 days = 13 hours per day.
Comparing the two averages:
The cat slept 18 hours per day, while the baby slept 13 hours per day.
Therefore, the correct response is:
The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
