Last week Malika’s castle 18 hours each day her baby slept 91 hours total for the week compare the proportional relationship of the numbers of hours, the cat and baby sleep each day

A. The cat baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.
B. The cat slept fewer hours per day then the cat.
C. The baby slept fewer hours per day then the cat
D.both the cat and baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping

1 answer

To compare the proportional relationship of the numbers of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we need to divide the total number of hours each of them slept for the week by the number of days in a week (7).

The cat slept 18 hours per day for 7 days, so the total number of hours the cat slept for the week is 18 * 7 = 126 hours.

The baby slept 91 hours for the week also spread across 7 days.

To compare the proportional relationship, we can divide the total number of hours each of them slept for the week by the number of days in a week:

The cat: 126 hours / 7 days = 18 hours per day
The baby: 91 hours / 7 days = 13 hours per day

Now, let's examine the options:
A. The cat and baby did not sleep the same amount of hours per day.
B. The cat did not sleep fewer hours per day than the baby.
C. The baby did not sleep fewer hours per day than the cat.
D. Both the cat and baby do not spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.

Therefore, none of the statements (A, B, C, or D) accurately describe the proportional relationship of the numbers of hours the cat and baby sleep each day.
