To calculate the amount of flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30-day supply, we need to determine the total number of tablespoons required.
Pietro uses 2/1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed each day.
To add fractions, we first need to find a common denominator, which is 3 in this case. We can then convert 2/1/3 to a mixed number.
2/1/3 = 2 * 3/3 + 1/3 = 6/3 + 1/3 = 7/3
Therefore, Pietro uses 7/3 tablespoons of flaxseed each day.
To find the amount needed for a 30-day supply, we multiply the amount used each day by the number of days.
7/3 * 30 = (7 * 30)/3 = 210/3 = 70
Hence, Pietro needs 70 tablespoons of flaxseed for a 30-day supply.
Pietro likes to put 2/1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed on his morning cereal as a health supplement. How much flaxseed does he need for a 30-day supply?
