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, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.
problem_activity: Task
Global Positioning System or GPS devices receive input from satellites and use
this information to locate our position on the planet.   The information received from
each individual satellite gives the distance from the GPS  device to that satellite and the location of the satellite.  The set of points at a fixed distance from a satellite form
a sphere so when the GPS receives its distance from a given satellite, this tells
us that it lies on a particular sphere.  Data from several satellites will
locate the GPS device on the intersection of spheres.  This problem examines different scenarios for intersections of spheres from the point of view of the GPS device: how many
different satellites are needed to locate the GPS device?  Does it matter how
the satellites are configured in space?
Below is a sample picture showing three satellites and their distances, $d_1, d_2, d_3$ from a point on the earth:
[IMG]
The three parts of this problem investigate different positions of the three
satellites pictured above: the goal is to find scenarios where one, two or three of the distances
$d_1$, $d_2$, $d_3$ are (or are not) sufficient to locate the GPS unit.
Give an example of a satellite and GPS location so that the GPS device can determine its location on the earth with input
from this single satellite.  Also give an example when this one signal does not provide
enough information  to designate a location on the earth.
Give  an example of a configuration of two satellites  and the GPS so that the GPS device can determine its location on the earth with input
from the two satellites (but not from either alone).   Also give an example where these two signals do not provide
enough information  to designate a location on the earth.
Give  an example of a configuration of three satellites and the GPS so that  the GPS device can determine its location on the earth with input
from three satellites (but not from any pair of the satellites).   Also give an example where three signals do not provide
enough information  to designate a location on the earth.
