Answer 1

To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we can calculate the average daily sleep for each.

1. Cat:

   • Sleeps 18 hours each day.

2. Baby:

   • Total sleep for the week: 91 hours.
   • Average daily sleep: 91 hours / 7 days = 13 hours.

Now, we can compare their average daily sleep:

• The cat sleeps 18 hours per day.
• The baby sleeps 13 hours per day.

Conclusion: The cat slept more hours per day than the baby.

So the correct response is:

The cat slept more hours per day than the baby.
