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?

Answer 1

To find out how much flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30-day supply, we need to multiply the amount he uses per day by the number of days in a month.

Pietro uses 2 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed per day.
To convert this mixed number to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (1). This gives us 7/3 tablespoons of flaxseed per day.
So Pietro needs 7/3 tablespoons of flaxseed per day.

Now, we need to multiply this amount by the number of days in a month (30).
(7/3) * 30 = (7 * 30) / 3
= 210 / 3
= 70

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