A recipe calls for 1/3- cups of flour. Charlie only has a 1/3-cup measuring cup. How many times will Charlie need to fill the -cup measuring cup? Set up the initial problem on the left side of the equation and the solution on the right side of the equation.

Question

3/10 1/3 10 30 3 2/3

Answer 1

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.
