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 baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
To compare the proportional relationship between the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we need to calculate the average number of hours slept per day for each of them.
Given that the cat slept 18 hours each day, and there are 7 days in a week, we can calculate the total number of hours the cat slept for the week: 18 hours/day * 7 days = 126 hours.
For the baby, we are given that the total number of hours slept for the week is 91 hours.
To find the average number of hours the baby slept per day, we divide the total number of hours slept by 7 (the number of days in a week): 91 hours / 7 days = 13 hours/day.
Comparing the averages:
The cat slept an average of 18 hours per day, while the baby slept an average of 13 hours per day.
Therefore, the baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
