Please simplify the answer

Answer 2

To find out how many hours a tiger will sleep in 7 weeks, we first need to determine the total number of hours in 7 weeks and then calculate the sleep based on the provided sleep duration of 18 to 20 hours a day.

1. Calculate the total number of days in 7 weeks:
\[
7 \text{ weeks} \times 7 \text{ days/week} = 49 \text{ days}
\]

2. Calculate the sleep hours for 18 hours per day:
\[
49 \text{ days} \times 18 \text{ hours/day} = 882 \text{ hours}
\]

3. Calculate the sleep hours for 20 hours per day:
\[
49 \text{ days} \times 20 \text{ hours/day} = 980 \text{ hours}
\]

Thus, in 7 weeks, a tiger will sleep between **882 to 980 hours**.

Answer 3

In 7 weeks, a tiger will sleep approximately **900 hours** on average.

This represents a simplified range of the total sleep hours. Specifically:
- **Minimum sleep (18 hours/day)**: 882 hours
- **Maximum sleep (20 hours/day)**: 980 hours

Thus, the simplified answer is that a tiger sleeps about **900 hours** in 7 weeks.
