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?


Description: 
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, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to for students to discuss how much space a ton of garbage takes up, which will be useful when students consider 3,300 tons of plastic trash in shipping containers in a later activity. Some students may not know the precise definition of a ton. Encourage students to visualize what 2,000 pounds of trash might look like. The synthesis gives students an opportunity to consider the kind and the amount of trash produced in their community.

Activity Synthesis
“The average garbage truck can hold 12–14 tons of garbage.”
If needed, “1 ton is the same as 2,000 pounds.”
“If this truck collects trash only from our school (or neighborhood) what kinds of things might the truck be filled with?”
“How long do you think it would take our school (or neighborhood ) to completely fill the truck?”
