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?


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.

Complete the table below. Is $\Delta x$ a constant?  If so, what constant is it? What do you notice about the 3rd column of the table?
{"table": [{"tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "$x$"}, {"_value": "$f(x)=128\\cdot \\left({\\frac {1}{2}}\\right)^x$"}, {"_value": "Successive quotients"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "0"}, {"_value": "128"}, {"_value": "----"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "1"}, {"_value": "64"}, {"_value": "$\\frac{f(1)}{f(0)}=\\frac {64}{128} = \\frac{1}{2}$"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "2"}, {}, {"_value": "$\\frac{f(2)}{f(1)}=$"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "3"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "4"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}

Let $f(x)=a \cdot b^x$. Let $x_0$ be any particular $x$-value. Show that if $x_0$ is increased by a constant, $\Delta x$, the successive quotient  $$\frac{f(x_0+ \Delta x)}{f(x_0)}$$ is always the same no matter what $x_0$ is.
Is b) an example of the result of c)? Explain.
