Last week, Mallika'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)
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
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
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.
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.
The cat slept 18 hours each day, so for the week, the cat slept a total of 18 * 7 = <<18*7=126>>126 hours.
The baby slept 91 hours total for the week. To find the average number of hours the baby slept per day, we divide the total by 7: 91 / 7 = 13 hours per day.
Comparing the average number of hours per day, we find that the baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat. Therefore, the answer is: 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.
First, let's find out how many hours the cat slept per day. We know that the cat slept 18 hours each day, so we can divide the total hours slept for the week by the number of days in a week.
Total hours the cat slept for the week = 18 hours/day * 7 days = 126 hours
Average hours the cat slept per day = 126 hours / 7 days = 18 hours/day
Next, let's find out how many hours the baby slept per day. We know that the baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week, so we can divide that by 7 days to get the average number of hours slept per day.
Average hours the baby slept per day = 91 hours / 7 days ≈ 13 hours/day
Comparing the average number of hours slept per day, we can see that the cat slept more hours per day than the baby.
Therefore, the answer is: The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
