To calculate the amount of cracked corn Matthew will need, we need to first determine the total amount of corn each goose will eat in two days. Since each goose eats 9 ounces of corn per day, and there are 2 days, each goose will eat 9 * 2 = 18 ounces of corn in two days.
Next, we need to multiply the amount each goose will eat by the number of geese Matthew needs to feed. There are 7 geese, so 18 * 7 = 126 ounces of corn in total.
Therefore, Matthew will need 126 ounces of cracked corn to feed 7 geese for 2 days.
