Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

problem_activity: A tee-shirt store sells long sleeve (LS) and short sleeve (SS) tee-shirts. In the fall, they stock 4 LS tee-shirts for every 3 SS tee-shirts. In the spring, they stock only 2 LS tee-shirts for every 5 SS tee-shirts.
If the store stocks the same number of tee-shirts in the fall and in the spring, and there are 105 SS tee-shirts in the fall, how many SS tee-shirts does the store stock in the spring?
