Example:
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?


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.

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.

A physics professor says: "Of course, it is easy to see that
$$ L_0 \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}} = 0 $$
when $v = c$."
Give a possible explanation in terms of the structure of the expression on the left why the professor might say that.
Assuming that $L_0$ and $c$ are positive, what is the greatest possible value of the expression on the left?  Explain your answer in terms of the structure of the expression.
