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.
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 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.
To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we need to find the number of hours each of them slept per day.
The cat slept 18 hours each day, so to find the hours per day for the baby, we divide the total hours the baby slept for the week (91) by the number of days in the week (7): 91 / 7 = 13 hours per day.
Now, let's compare:
- The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat. This is correct since the baby slept 13 hours per day, which is fewer than the cat's 18 hours per day.
So the correct 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 they sleep per day.
The cat slept 18 hours each day for a total of 7 days, so the cat slept a total of 18 x 7 = 126 hours for the week.
The baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week.
To find the average number of hours they sleep per day, we divide the total number of hours by 7 (number of days in a week):
For the cat: 126 hours / 7 days = 18 hours
For the baby: 91 hours / 7 days = 13 hours
Therefore, the baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
