To find out how many hours a tiger sleeps in 7 weeks, we first need to determine how many hours it sleeps in a day and then multiply that by the number of days in 7 weeks.

  1. Sleeping Hours per Day: A tiger sleeps between 18 to 20 hours a day.

  2. Days in 7 Weeks: \[ 7 \text{ weeks} \times 7 \text{ days/week} = 49 \text{ days} \]

  3. Total Sleeping Hours in 7 Weeks:

    • Minimum sleep: \[ 18 \text{ hours/day} \times 49 \text{ days} = 882 \text{ hours} \]
    • Maximum sleep: \[ 20 \text{ hours/day} \times 49 \text{ days} = 980 \text{ hours} \]

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

The correct response is: 882 to 980 hours.
