The amount of shampoo required by Morgan each week to bathe her dog = 2 oz
So
The amount of shampoo required by Morgan in 7 days to bathe her dog = 2 oz
The amount of shampoo remaining after 4 weeks = 34 oz
So the amount of shampoo remaining after (4 7) days = 34 oz
The amount of shampoo remaining after 28 days = 34 oz
The amount of shampoo that Morgan uses in 28 days = (2/7) 28 oz
                                                                                      = 2 4 oz
                                                                                      = 8 oz
Then
8 oz of shampoo is required by Morgan in = 28 days
Then
34 oz of shampoo will be used in = (28/8) 34 days
                                                      = 7 * 17 days
                                                      = 119 days
So
The total number of
days before the bottle becomes empty = 119 + 8 oz
                                                               = 127 days
