tablespoons
To find the amount of flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30-day supply, we need to multiply his daily amount by the number of days in 30 days.
Pietro puts 2 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed on his cereal each day.
To multiply a mixed number by a whole number, we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
The fraction part of 2 1/3 is 1/3.
To convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator.
2 * 3 = 6
6 + 1 = 7
So, 2 1/3 as an improper fraction is 7/3.
Now, we can multiply this fraction by 30 to find the amount of flaxseed Pietro needs for a 30-day supply.
7/3 * 30 = 70/3 = 23 1/3 tablespoons
Therefore, Pietro needs 23 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed for a 30-day supply. Answer: \boxed{23\ \frac{1}{3}\ \text{tablespoons}}.
