Last week, Malika’s cat slept 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.(1 point) Responses The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week. The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week. The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby. The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby. The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat. The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat. Both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping. Both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.

Answer 1

To determine the daily sleep hours for both the cat and the baby, let's calculate each one.

1. Cat's daily sleep:

   • The cat sleeps 18 hours each day.

2. Baby's daily sleep:

   • The baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week. Since there are 7 days in a week, we can calculate the daily sleep:
     \[ \text{Baby's daily sleep} = \frac{91 \text{ hours}}{7 \text{ days}} = 13 \text{ hours per day} \]

Now we can compare their sleep patterns:

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

Based on this, we can derive the following conclusions:

• The cat sleeps more hours per day than the baby.
• The baby does not sleep less than half of the hours in a day (he/she sleeps approximately 54.2% of a 24-hour day with 13 hours).

Given these findings, the correct statement would be:

The cat slept more hours per day than the baby.
