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)

The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.
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 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 hours they sleep per day based on the given information.
The cat slept 18 hours each day last week. So, we multiply 18 by 7 (the number of days in a week) to get the total hours the cat slept for the week: 18 x 7 = 126 hours.
The baby slept 91 hours total for the week. To find the average hours the baby slept per day, we divide 91 by 7: 91 / 7 = 13 hours (rounded to the nearest whole number).
Comparing the averages, we see that the cat slept 18 hours per day on average, while the baby slept 13 hours per day on average.
Therefore, the correct response is: "The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby."
