Concept/skill: 
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Problem/activity:
Task
Cruz and Erica were both getting ready for soccer.
Cruz ran 1 lap around the school.
Erica ran 3 laps around the playground.
Erica said,
I ran more laps, so I ran farther.
Cruz said,
4 laps around the school is 1 mile, but it takes 12 laps around the playground to go 1 mile. My laps are much longer, so I ran farther.
Who is right? Draw a picture to help you explain your answer.


Answer: 
No. This task does not involve comparing decimals to hundredths. Instead, it involves fraction comparisons.

Now, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100. (Students who can generate equivalent fractions can develop strategies for adding fractions with unlike denominators in general. But addition and subtraction with unlike denominators in general is not a requirement at this grade.) For example, express 3/10 as 30/100, and add 3/10 + 4/100 = 34/100.

problem_activity: Problem 1
Look at your yardstick and 12-inch ruler again.
Ms. Cole says that 1 foot is equivalent to
$$\frac{1}{3}$$
yard. Do you agree or disagree? Explain.
Using similar reasoning, determine what fraction of a foot an inch is.
Use your reasoning from Part (a) to solve the following conversions.
$$\frac{2}{3}$$
yard = ______ feet
$$2\frac{1}{3}$$
yards = ______ feet
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
foot = ______ inches
$$3\frac{1}{4}$$
feet = ______ inches
$$4\frac{1}{2}$$
yards = ______ inches
