I'd probably keep it moist for about 5-7 days.
As for the cracking, ALL concrete is going to crack. Impossible to prevent at some level. What you want to do is spread out the cracking so that instead of 2 or 3 big cracks, you get hundreds of barely visible small cracks. If you can keep them small, the water stays out of them and whatever reinforcement is in there (fibers) will keep them tightly closed.
Probably something good for that size slab and cheap is a few moving blankets from harbor freight. go out and hose them a few times during the day to keep them moist and then again before you go to bed.

The slab was poured over dirt, not an existing slab.
