Concept/skill: 
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

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?


Answer: 
No. Usually problems that teach recognizing and representing proportional relationships between quantities involve deciding whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship or identifying the constant of proportionality, and then representing proportional relationships by equations or explaining proportional relationship using coordinate graphs.

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

standard_description: For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Below is a piecewise function that relates yards traveled and seconds.

Write a story that would result in this graph to model the situation.
Problem 2
Your favorite dog groomer charges according to your dog’s weight. If your dog is 15 pounds and under, the groomer charges $35. If your dog is between 15 and 40 pounds, she charges $40. If your dog is over 40 pounds, she charges $40, plus an additional $2 for each pound.
Write a piecewise function that describes what your dog groomer charges.
Graph the function.
