Since I see this is a bit of a homework question type, I will not only answer it, but make sure you understand what's what. Bear with me, okay?

"The average cow spends eighteen hours a day chewing."

"average" is an adjective for "cow", which is your subject. There's your answer. Now, please keep reading quickly.

"spends" is the verb, which tells that the cow spends...What? "hours" How many? "eighteen", which is an adjective for "hours". How? Because "hours" is a direct object, or a noun that the verb talks about.

I apologize for sounding so silly explaining the basics. It wanted to make it more of a learning reply.

Is Angela's pet hamster a subject or a predicate?

In the context of grammar, a subject is typically the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the sentence, while the predicate is the part of the sentence that provides information about the subject. In this case, "Angela's pet hamster" would be considered the subject of the sentence, as it is the noun being described. If we were to break down the sentence further, the predicate would be the part that describes what the hamster is doing or what is being done to it.

Can eighteen words make up a sentence?

You can make a sentence with any number of words. Typically, a sentence has subject and predicate; ie subject & verb & object. "Cats kill birds" (Three word sentence) But some verbs are intransitive (i.e take no object): "Philosophers think". (Two word sentence) Some questions may be orders, with or without implied words; "Attention!" = "You, stand to attention!". "Go!" = "You, go!". (Two word sentence) Some questions may be questions, with or without implied words: "Why?" referring to words from a previously uttered sentence. *None of those sentences have eighteen words, but that total number is actually not a very high one.
