Example:
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?

standard_description: Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
problem_activity: Provide a written explanation for each question below.
a.   Is it true that
$${\left(1000^{1\over3}\right)^3=(1000^3)^{1\over3}}$$
? Explain or show how you know.
b.   Is it true that
$${\left(4^{1\over2}\right)^3=(4^3)^{1\over2}}$$
? Explain or show how you know.
c.   Suppose that
$$m$$
and
$$n$$
are positive integers and
$$b$$
is a real number so that the principal
$$n^{th}$$
root of
$$b$$
exists. In general, does
$$\left(b^{1\over n}\right)^m=(b^m)^{1\over n}$$
? Explain or show how you know.
