Group 27 deep cycle battery + 2000W inverter
How long can a group 27 deep cycle battery and 2000W inverter power a full-size refrigerator? Assume that the batter is fully charged. Thanks

No one will be able to give you a true answer, not enough information and too many variables.
Group27 battery is pretty light on capacity, that is an obvious fact.
Group 27 can supply enough energy to power your furnace overnight in cool temperatures, but it will be pretty deeply discharged by morning.
Your inverter unless it has a "power save feature" is going to eat up 1 Ahr-2Ahr of battery capacity per hr just doing nothing. That is 24Ahr-48Ahr per 24 hr period.
Home fridges vary widely with how much energy they will use, some pretty light like 90W (.75A at 120V) to upwards of 780W (6.5A at 120V) and may run perhaps 20-30 minutes per hr..
So, no one is going to be able to answer your question.
My suggestion is try a dry run in your driveway or backyard (where ever you park it) and see just how long you can run the fridge..
My bet is you will need more capacity than a group27 if you want it to run more than 12hrs..
