Since each dog requires 10 ounces of dog food per day, 24 dogs require 10 x 24 = 240 ounces of dog food per day and 240 x 7 = 1680 ounces of dog food for the 7 days.
Since each case of dog food has 30 cans and each can has 8 ounces of dog food, a case has 30 x 8 = 240 ounces of dog food.
Therefore, 1680/240 = 7 cases of dog food are needed to feed 24 dogs for 7 days.
Answer: C
