Problem/activity:
Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to create composite shapes and compose new shapes from composite shapes. For example, students may find that a rectangular prism can be made from four triangular prisms or from eight smaller cubes. Students then discover that they can combine two of the composed rectangular prisms to make a new rectangular prism.

Activity Synthesis
Display a cube and a composite cube—for example, a cube composed of four small cubes and one rectangular prism.
Demonstrate putting the shapes together.
“What new shape did I make with the cube and the cube I made?”
“Put your shapes together to make a rectangular prism.”
Display a rectangular prism and two triangular prisms.
“Find these shapes. Put them together. What new shape can you make?” (a cube, a rectangular block)


Answer: 
No. This activity does not teach students area as an attribute of plane figures. Instead, the activity focuses on solid, three-dimensional figures.

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

standard_description: Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
problem_activity: Problem 1
Jack mixes yellow and blue paint to make a green paint that he will use to paint his basement. He uses a ratio of 3 pints of yellow paint for every 2 pints of blue paint. Jack pours 18 pints of yellow paint into a bucket.
a.   How many pints of blue paint should Jack add to the bucket?
b.   Jack's friend Kyle wants to help paint. Kyle said he has a green paint that is 9 parts yellow paint to 4 parts blue paint. Is Kyle's paint the same shade green as Jack's? Explain why or why not.
Problem 2
Terrance bikes 3.6 miles to school in 18 minutes. Jacqueline bikes 5.4 miles to school in 30 minutes. Assuming each student rode at a constant speed, who is traveling at a faster speed?
Problem 3
At the corner market, you can buy rice by the pound. The table below shows some weights and their corresponding costs.
| **           Rice (lbs.)          ** | **           Cost ($)          ** |
|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|                  2                   |                11                 |

|                  13                  |                 ?                 |
|                  ?                   |                88                 |
a.   How much does 13 pounds of rice cost?
b.   How many pounds of rice can you buy with $88?
