Concept/skill: 
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.

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

Target Numbers Stage 9 Recording Sheet

Narrative
Students subtract hundredths and tenths to get as close to 1 as possible. Students start their first equation with 2 and take turns rolling a number cube and choosing whether to subtract that number of hundredths or tenths and write an equation. The difference becomes the first number in the next equation. The player who gets closest to 1 in 6 rounds, without going below 1, is the winner.
Additional Information
Each group of 2 needs one number cube.
