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: Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.
problem_activity: A Ferris wheel is 50 meters in diameter and rotates once every three minutes. The center axle of the Ferris wheel is 30 meters from the ground.
a. Using the axes below, sketch a graph to show how the height of a passenger will vary with time. Assume that when the wheel starts rotating when the passenger is at the bottom.

b. A mathematical model for this motion is given by the formula
$${h=a+b\mathrm{cos}ct}$$
where
$$h$$
= the height of the car in meters
$$t$$
= the time that has elapsed in minutes
$${a, b, c}$$
are constants
Find values for
$$a$$
,
$$b$$
, and
$$c$$
that will model this situation.
