Solution

The panda slept 40 hours in 5 days
=> Number of hours the panda slept in a day = 40 $\div$ 5
From the multiplication table of 5, we know that 5 $\times$ 8 = 40.
Since division is the reverse of multiplication, 40 $\div$ 5 = 8
So the panda slept 8 hours a day.

The tiger slept 42 hours in 6 days.
=> Number of hours the tiger slept in a day = 42 $\div$ 6
From the multiplication table of 6, we know that 6 $\times$ 7 = 42.
Since division is the reverse of multiplication, 42 $\div$ 6 = 7
So the tiger slept 7 hours a day.
Thus, the panda slept more in a day. [8>7]
