To determine how many times Charlie needs to fill his 1/3-cup measuring cup to get the total amount of flour needed, we can set up the initial problem as follows:
**Left Side (Initial Problem):**
\[
x \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{3}
\]
**Right Side (Solution):**
To solve for \( x \), we'll divide both sides by \(\frac{1}{3}\):
\[
x = \frac{1/3}{1/3} = 1
\]
Thus, Charlie needs to fill his 1/3-cup measuring cup **1 time** to get the required amount of flour.
If the question was instead asking for a different amount that needs to be calculated based on the options provided (3/10, 1/3, 10, 30, 3, 2/3), please clarify for further steps.
