Answer:

Hansen can feed his mutt 2 cups of dog food per day for 7 days.

Explanation:

(2 cups)/(day) is the rate at which the dog eats. After how many days will the 14 cups of dog food be gone? Write and solve a suitable equation:

2 cups

--------------- * d = 14 cups,

1 day

or

1 7

--------- * d = -------

1 day 1

Multiplying both sides of this equation by (1 day) yields d = 7 days

Hansen can feed his mutt 2 cups of dog food per day for 7 days.
