Given answer from Cheggs expert for Days’ Sales in Inventory = (Ending Inventory * 365) / Cost of Goods Sold

Given answer from Cheggs expert for Operating cycle:

Operating Cycle = Days of Sales Inventory + Days of Sales Outstanding - Days payable outsatanding

My Questions:

1) For quick ratio calculation why weren't 'prepaid expenses' substructed, too?

2) I have the impression that the 'Operating cycle' was asked to be calculated not the 'net operating cycle'. Can you please help since all the formula used in the answer confused me? I did not find any reference for the formula day payable outstanding and the average inventory can be found only for year 2018....

3) Can 'Days' sales in inventory' be calculated by using 'sales' instead of CoGs? (that was our tutor's suggestion)
