Missy made a mistake in Step 1; distribution was not performed correctly. The first term should be **3** instead of **-6**.
Here’s the correct way to evaluate the expression -3(-2 + 5):
1. Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses:
\(-2 + 5 = 3\).
2. Multiply by -3:
\(-3 \times 3 = -9\).
So the correct final result is -9.

To multiply \(-\frac{6}{5} \times 3.125\), we first convert \(3.125\) into a fraction.
1. **Convert 3.125 to a fraction:**
\[
3.125 = \frac{3125}{1000}
\]
Next, we can simplify this fraction. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 125:
\[
\frac{3125 \div 125}{1000 \div 125} = \frac{25}{8}
\]
2. **Now multiply the fractions:**
\[
-\frac{6}{5} \times \frac{25}{8}
\]
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators:
\[
\frac{-6 \times 25}{5 \times 8} = \frac{-150}{40}
\]
3. **Simplify the resulting fraction:**
Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 10:
\[
\frac{-150 \div 10}{40 \div 10} = \frac{-15}{4}
\]
So, \(-\frac{6}{5} \times 3.125 = -\frac{15}{4}\).
If you prefer, you can also express \(-\frac{15}{4}\) as a mixed number:
\[
-\frac{15}{4} = -3 \frac{3}{4}
\]
Thus, the final result is:
\[
-\frac{15}{4} \text{ or } -3.75.
\]

To find out how many minutes Spencer worked out each day, we need to divide the total minutes he worked out by the number of days.
1. **Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction**:
\[
232 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{232 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{464 + 1}{2} = \frac{465}{2}
\]
2. **Divide by the number of days**:
Since Spencer worked out for 5 days, we need to divide \(\frac{465}{2}\) by 5:
\[
\frac{465}{2} \div 5 = \frac{465}{2} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{465 \times 1}{2 \times 5} = \frac{465}{10}
\]
3. **Simplify the fraction**:
To simplify \(\frac{465}{10}\), we divide both the numerator and denominator by 5:
\[
\frac{465 \div 5}{10 \div 5} = \frac{93}{2}
\]
4. **Convert back to a mixed number (if desired)**:
\(\frac{93}{2}\) is equal to:
\[
46 \frac{1}{2} \text{ minutes}
\]
Thus, **each day, Spencer worked out for** \(46 \frac{1}{2}\) **minutes** or **46.5 minutes**.
1. **Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction**:
\[
232 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{232 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{464 + 1}{2} = \frac{465}{2}
\]
2. **Divide by the number of days**:
Since Spencer worked out for 5 days, we need to divide \(\frac{465}{2}\) by 5:
\[
\frac{465}{2} \div 5 = \frac{465}{2} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{465 \times 1}{2 \times 5} = \frac{465}{10}
\]
3. **Simplify the fraction**:
To simplify \(\frac{465}{10}\), we divide both the numerator and denominator by 5:
\[
\frac{465 \div 5}{10 \div 5} = \frac{93}{2}
\]
4. **Convert back to a mixed number (if desired)**:
\(\frac{93}{2}\) is equal to:
\[
46 \frac{1}{2} \text{ minutes}
\]
Thus, **each day, Spencer worked out for** \(46 \frac{1}{2}\) **minutes** or **46.5 minutes**.

To determine how many times Charlie needs to fill the \( \frac{1}{3} \)-cup measuring cup to reach \( 3 \frac{1}{3} \) cups of flour, we can set up the equation as follows:
1. **Convert \( 3 \frac{1}{3} \) to an improper fraction**:
\[
3 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{9 + 1}{3} = \frac{10}{3}
\]
2. **Set up the equation**:
\[
\frac{10}{3} \div \frac{1}{3} = \text{number of times the } \frac{1}{3} \text{-cup will be filled}
\]
Dividing by \( \frac{1}{3} \) is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal, which is \( 3 \):
\[
\frac{10}{3} \times 3 = 10
\]
3. **Write the equation**:
\[
3 \frac{1}{3} \div \frac{1}{3} = 10 \text{ times}
\]
You can use this setup:
**Final answer:**
\[
3 \frac{1}{3} \ \div \ \frac{1}{3} = 10 \ \text{times}
\]
Hence, you would fill the last part as follows:
