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.

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.

Both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping. .

Answer 1

To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, let's calculate the average daily sleep for both.

1. Cat's Sleep:

   • The cat sleeps 18 hours each day.

2. Baby's Sleep:

   • The baby slept a total of 91 hours for the week.
   • To find the average daily sleep over 7 days: \[ \text{Average daily sleep for baby} = \frac{91 \text{ hours}}{7 \text{ days}} = 13 \text{ hours/day} \]

Now, we can compare their daily sleep:

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

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

None of the provided options matched this conclusion exactly, but based on the context, the correct interpretation should be:

"The cat slept more hours per day than the baby."

It seems like there might have been an error in the options listed. If choosing from the given options strictly, none seem appropriate. If you have to choose among them, you might indicate that the cat indeed slept more to correct the misunderstanding.
