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. 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. 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 slept fewer hours per day than the baby.

The cat slept 18 hours each day last week, while the baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week. To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we can divide the total number of hours by the number of days.

For the cat: 18 hours/day
For the baby: 91 hours/7 days ≈ 13 hours/day

Comparing the number of hours each day, we can see that the cat slept more hours per day than the baby. Therefore, the correct response is: 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.

First, we need to find the total number of hours the cat slept for the week. Since the cat slept 18 hours each day, we multiply 18 by 7 (the number of days in a week) to get:
18 hours/day * 7 days/week = 126 hours/week

Next, we find the average number of hours the cat slept per day by dividing the total number of hours slept (126) by the number of days in a week (7):
126 hours/week / 7 days/week = 18 hours/day

Now, let's calculate the average number of hours the baby slept per day. We are given that the baby slept 91 hours total for the week. To find the average, we divide 91 by 7:
91 hours/week / 7 days/week = 13 hours/day

Comparing the average number of hours:
- The cat slept 18 hours per day.
- The baby slept 13 hours per day.

Therefore, the cat slept more hours per day than the baby.

So, the correct answer is "The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby."
