Last week, Malika's cat sleeps 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.

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

To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and the baby sleep each day, we need to find the number of hours each of them sleeps per day.

The cat sleeps 18 hours each day (assuming it's consistent throughout the week).
The baby slept 91 hours total for the week. To find the number of hours the baby sleeps per day, we divide 91 by 7 (number of days in a week): 91 / 7 = 13.

So, the baby slept approximately 13 hours each day.

Comparing the numbers, we can see that the cat slept more hours per day than the baby.

Therefore, the answer is:
C. The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
