Problem/activity:
You’re mixing ingredients for cookies. The recipe says to combine 6 tablespoons, or ¾ stick, of butter with 1 cup of sugar. You accidentally mix in a whole stick of butter (8 tablespoons) with the cup of sugar. How can you fix this?


Concept/skill: 
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

Answer: 
No. Usually problems that teach recognizing and representing proportional relationships between quantities involve deciding whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship or identifying the constant of proportionality, and then representing proportional relationships by equations or explaining proportional relationship using coordinate graphs.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).
problem_activity: Task
An important example of a model often used in biology or ecology to model
population growth is called the logistic growth model.  The general
form of the logistic equation is
$$
P(t) = \frac{KP_0e^{rt}}{K+P_0(e^{rt}-1)}.
$$
In this equation $t$ represents time, with $t = 0$ corresponding to when the population in question is first measured; $K,P_0$  and $r$ are all real numbers
with $K$ being called the ''carrying capacity'' while $r$ is a growth rate and
is normally a positive number.
Explain why the value $P_0$ represents
the  population when it is first measured.
Explain why, as time elapses, the population stabilizes, approaching the value $K$.
Explain how the behavior of $P$ changes if the growth rate $r$ is increased or decreased.
Below is the graph of a particular logistic function $P$, showing the growth of a
bacteria population.  Using the graph, identify $P_0$ and  $K$.

Using the values of $P_0$ and $K$ from the previous part, sketch the graph of the logistic function $Q$ given by
$$
Q(t) =  \frac{KP_0e^{2rt}}{K+P_0(e^{2rt}-1)}.
$$
Note that $Q$ is the same as $P$ except that the growth rate $r$ has been doubled.
