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: Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x^(2) = p and x^(3) = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that Ö2 is irrational.
problem_activity: Samantha found the slope of the line that passed through the points
$${(2, 6)}$$
and
$${(-4, 8)}$$
. Her work is shown below.
$${{8-6\over {2-(-4)}} = {2\over 2+4 }= {2\over 6} = {1\over3}}$$
Samantha made an error in her work. Describe the error and then find the correct slope of the line through the two given points.
