Answer:

it will last 18 days

Explanation:

divide 42 by 2 1/3

2 1/3 = 7/3

42 / 7/3 =

42 * 3/7 =

126/7 = 18

if this isn't enough then here

The number of days it will take the dog to consume the 42 cup of food will be 18 days.

Total cups of dog food = 42 cups

Amount of cups consumed per day =

To obtain the number of days it will take to consume the entire food :

Divide the total amount of food by the amount consumed per day

Hence,

(42 ÷ (7/3))

Take the reciprocal of 7/3 and change the operation sign to multiplication

42 × 3/7 = (42 × 3) / 7 = 126 / 7 = 18 days

Therefore, it will take the dog 18 days to finish up the 42 cups of food.
