Pietro likes to put 2 1/3 tablespoon of flaxseed on his morning cereal as a health supplement how much flaxseed does he need for a 30 day supply

Answer 1

To find the amount of flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30 day supply, we need to multiply the amount he puts on his cereal by the number of days in 30 days.

Pietro puts 2 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed on his cereal each day.

To convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3), then add the numerator (1).

2 * 3 = 6

6 + 1 = 7

So, Pietro puts 7/3 tablespoons of flaxseed on his cereal each day.

To find the amount for 30 days, we multiply the amount for 1 day (7/3 tablespoons) by the number of days (30).

(7/3) * 30 = 210/3

Now, we can simplify the fraction:

210/3 = 70

Therefore, Pietro needs 70 tablespoons of flaxseed for a 30 day supply.
