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 problem or activity shown below enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.
problem_activity: Task
Ari has collected data on how much her classmates study each week and how well they did on their recent math test. Here is part of the data, showing the percentage of each group (divided according to hours spent studying) who got different grades on the test:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "Weekly Hours $w$ Studying"}, {"_value": "C or below on test"}, {"_value": "B on test"}, {"_value": "A on test"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$w \\lt$ 3"}, {"_value": "50%"}, {"_value": "20%"}, {"_value": "30%"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$3 \\leq w \\lt 6$"}, {"_value": "60%"}, {"_value": "25%"}, {"_value": "15%"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$w \\geq 6$"}, {"_value": "60%"}, {"_value": "20%"}, {"_value": "20%"}]}]}]}]}
What can you conclude about the percentage of Ari's classmates who got B's? What about the percent who got A's?
Looking at the table, Ari decides that in order to do well in her math class, she should not study more than 3 hours a week: she has a 30 percent chance of getting an A as long as she does not study more than 3 hours per week. Is Ari's reasoning valid?
