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: Derive the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series (when the common ratio is not 1), and use the formula to solve problems. For example, calculate mortgage payments.
problem_activity: Task
In Mrs. Sanchez' math classroom, more people sit on the right-hand side of the room than the left.  The students on the right-hand side of the classroom received the following scores on an exam worth 100 points:
$$ 85,\, 90,\, 100,\, 95,\, 0,\, 0,\, 90,\, 70,\, 100,\, 95,\, 80,\, 95 $$
The students on the left received these test scores:
$$65,\, 80,\, 90,\, 65,\, 80,\, 60,\, 95,\, 85$$
Make two box plots of the students' scores, one for each side of the room.
Make a statistical argument that the students on the right-hand side were more successful.
Make a statistical argument that the students on the left-hand side were more successful.
