Final answer:

To feed Bowser's 7 kids one bowl per day for 2 weeks, you would need 98 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of gallons needed to feed Bowser's 7 kids one bowl per day for 2 weeks, we need to find the total number of bowls they will eat. There are 7 kids and they eat one bowl each day, so in 2 weeks (14 days), they will eat a total of 7 x 14 = 98 bowls.

Next, we need to determine the volume of one bowl. Let's assume each bowl is 1 cup in volume. There are 16 cups in a gallon, so one bowl is 1/16 gallon.

To find the total number of gallons needed, we multiply the number of bowls (98) by the volume of one bowl in gallons (1/16):

98 x 1/16 = 98/16 = 6.125 gallons.

Therefore, the answer is C) 98 gallons.
