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: 
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem solves a real-world problem involving mixing ingredients for cookies. A student doing this problem would need to reason about equivalent ratios of butter amounts to sugar amounts.

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

problem_activity: Task
Lucy has measuring cups of sizes 1 cup, $\frac{1}{2}$ cup, $\frac{1}{3}$ cup, and $\frac{1}{4}$ cup. She is trying to measure out $\frac{1}{6}$ of a cup of water and says, ''If I fill up the the $\frac{1}{2}$ cup and then pour that into the $\frac{1}{3}$ cup until it is full, there will be $\frac{1}{6}$ of a cup of water left.''
Is Lucy's method to measure $\frac{1}{6}$ of a cup of water correct? Explain.
Lucy wonders what other amounts she can measure. Is it possible for her to measure out $\frac{1}{12}$ of a cup? Explain.
What other amounts of water can Lucy measure?
