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 constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context. For example, represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.
problem_activity: Problem 1
In equations (a)–(d) below, the solution,
$$x$$
, to the equation depends on the constant,
$$a$$
. Assuming
$$a$$
is positive, what is the effect of increasing
$$a$$
on the solution? Does it increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?
Give a reason for your answer that can be understood without solving the equation.
a.
$$x-a=0$$
b.
$$ax=1$$
c.
$$ax=a$$
d.
$$\frac{x}{a}=1$$
Problem 2
Which of the following equations have the same solution(s)? Give reasons for your answer that do not depend on solving the equations.
a.
$${x+3=5x-4}$$
b.
$${x-3=5x+4}$$
c.
$${2x+8=5x-3}$$
d.
$${10x+6=2x-8}$$
e.
$${10x-8=2x+6}$$
