To find the number of hours a tiger will sleep in 7 weeks, we can multiply the number of hours a tiger sleeps per day by the number of days in 7 weeks.
Since a tiger sleeps 18 to 20 hours a day:
Minimum number of hours a tiger will sleep in 7 weeks = 18 hours/day × 7 days/week × 7 weeks = 882 hours
Maximum number of hours a tiger will sleep in 7 weeks = 20 hours/day × 7 days/week × 7 weeks = 980 hours
Therefore, the answer is A: 882 to 980 hours.
To find out how many hours a tiger will sleep in 7 weeks, we need to calculate the total hours a tiger sleeps in a day and then multiply it by the number of days in 7 weeks.
First, we need to determine the range of hours for a tiger's sleep in a day. According to the information given, a tiger sleeps 18 to 20 hours a day.
To calculate the total hours a tiger sleeps in a day, we can take the average of the given range. Adding the minimum (18 hours) and maximum (20 hours), we get:
(18 + 20) / 2 = 19 hours
Now, we know that a tiger sleeps for an average of 19 hours a day.
Next, we multiply the average daily sleep hours by the number of days in 7 weeks (which is 7 x 7 = 49 days) to find the total hours a tiger will sleep in 7 weeks:
19 hours/day x 49 days = 931 hours
The answer is approximately 931 hours.
Therefore, the closest option from the given choices is A) 882 to 980 hours.
To find out how many hours a tiger will sleep in 7 weeks, we need to multiply the number of hours a tiger sleeps in a day by the number of days in 7 weeks.
Given that a tiger sleeps 18 to 20 hours a day, we can calculate the total range of hours as follows:
Minimum hours = 18 hours x 7 days x 7 weeks = 882 hours
Maximum hours = 20 hours x 7 days x 7 weeks = 980 hours
Therefore, the tiger will sleep for 882 to 980 hours in 7 weeks.
Answer: A) 882 to 980 hours.
