Answer: The required length by which the elephant grows in 8 days is
$18(2)/(3)~\textup{inches}.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that an elephant grows
2(1)/(3) inches a day.

We are to find the length by which it grow in 8 days.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

In 1 day, the length by which the elephant grow is

$2(1)/(3)=(7)/(3)~\textup{inches}.$

Therefore, the length by which the elephant grow in 8 ways is given by

$(7)/(3)*8=(56)/(3)=18(2)/(3)~\textup{inches}.$

Thus, the required length by which the elephant grows in 8 days is
$18(2)/(3)~\textup{inches}.$
