Answer 1

First, let's represent the number of hours Jasmine's cat sleeps each day as x.
Since Jasmine sleeps for 1/3 the amount of time her cat sleeps, we can write the equation as:
Jasmine's sleep time = (1/3) * Cat's sleep time
6 = (1/3) * x
Now we need to solve for x by multiplying both sides by 3:
3 * 6 = x
18 = x
So, the correct equation to find the number of hours Jasmine's cat sleeps each day is:
x = 18
Therefore, the correct answer is:
(Choice C) C
