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.

standard_description: Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students continue to use the relationship between multiplication and division to reason about situations that involve division. Students divide three-digit numbers by single-digit divisors and find results with and without a remainder.

Student Facing
Jada is writing multiples of a mystery number. After writing a bunch of numbers, she writes out 126.
Mai says 6 is the mystery number.
Priya says 8 is the mystery number.
Andre says 9 could be the mystery number.
Which student do you agree with? Show your reasoning and include equations.
Jada gives one more clue: “If I keep writing multiples, I’ll get to 153.”
What is the mystery number? Explain or show your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
“How could we use division to help us find out the mystery number?” (If the result has a remainder, then the divisor could not be the mystery number. 153 divided by 6 has 3 as a remainder. 153 divided by 9 has no remainder, so 9 is the mystery number.)
