Pietro likes to add 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?
To find out how much flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30-day supply, we need to multiply the amount he uses daily by the number of days in the supply.
Pietro uses 2 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed daily. To add these fractions, we convert it to a mixed number: 2 + 1/3 = 2 1/3.
So, Pietro needs 2 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed daily.
To find how many tablespoons he needs for a 30-day supply, we multiply the daily amount by the number of days in the supply: 2 1/3 * 30 = 2.33 * 30 = 70 tablespoons.
Therefore, Pietro needs 70 tablespoons of flaxseed for a 30-day supply.
