Pietro likes to put 2(1/3)

Question

tablespoons of flaxseed on his morning cereal as a health supplement. How much flaxseed does he need for a 30-day supply?(1 point)

Answer 1

To calculate how much flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30-day supply, we first need to convert the amount he uses into an improper fraction.

Pietro uses \(2 \frac{1}{3}\) tablespoons of flaxseed. This can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:

1. Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3): \[ 2 \times 3 = 6 \]

2. Add the numerator (1) to this result: \[ 6 + 1 = 7 \]

So, \(2 \frac{1}{3}\) tablespoons is equivalent to \(\frac{7}{3}\) tablespoons.

Next, we multiply this amount by 30 to find out how much flaxseed he needs for 30 days:

\[ \frac{7}{3} \times 30 = \frac{7 \times 30}{3} = \frac{210}{3} = 70 \]

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