To find out how much flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30-day supply, we need to calculate the amount he needs per day and then multiply it by 30.
Pietro needs 2 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed per day. To add this fraction to a whole number, we need to convert the fraction to a common denominator, which is 3.
2 1/3 is equivalent to (2 * 3) + 1 = 7/3 tablespoons.
Now, to find out how much flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30-day supply, we multiply 7/3 tablespoons by 30:
(7/3) * 30 = (7 * 30) / 3 = 210/3 = 70 tablespoons.
Therefore, Pietro needs 70 tablespoons of flaxseed for a 30-day supply.
