Example:
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: Use special triangles to determine geometrically the values of sine, cosine, tangent for π/3, π/4 and π/6, and use the unit circle to express the values of sine, cosines, and tangent for π–x, π+x, and 2π–x in terms of their values for x, where x is any real number.
problem_activity: A Ferris wheel is 50 meters in diameter and rotates once every three minutes. The center axle of the Ferris wheel is 30 meters from the ground.
a. Using the axes below, sketch a graph to show how the height of a passenger will vary with time. Assume that when the wheel starts rotating when the passenger is at the bottom.

b. A mathematical model for this motion is given by the formula
$${h=a+b\mathrm{cos}ct}$$
where
$$h$$
= the height of the car in meters
$$t$$
= the time that has elapsed in minutes
$${a, b, c}$$
are constants
Find values for
$$a$$
,
$$b$$
, and
$$c$$
that will model this situation.


aligns: yes
