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.

problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Create as many rectangles as you can with an area of 12 square units. Find the perimeter of each rectangle that you created. Then record the length, width, area, and perimeter of each rectangle in the table below:
| **                Length (units)               ** | **                Width (units)               ** | **                Area (square units)               ** | **                Perimeter (units)               ** |
