Cats take many short naps throughout the day. If a cat sleeps 1/3 of an hour at a time, how many short naps does it take? Explain how to find the answer

Respuesta :

Answer:

Not enough information for a complete answer.  The total time asleep is needed.  See below for the approach.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know a cat sleeps 1/3 of an hour at a time.  We need to know how much time the cat sleeps for the period in question.  It kitty slept a total of 6 hours, then it would have taken:

(6 hours)/(1/3 hour/nap)

6/(1/3) = 6(3/3) = 18 naps in 6 hours
