Task
Cruz and Erica were both getting ready for soccer.
Cruz ran 1 lap around the school.
Erica ran 3 laps around the playground.
Erica said,
I ran more laps, so I ran farther.
Cruz said,
4 laps around the school is 1 mile, but it takes 12 laps around the playground to go 1 mile. My laps are much longer, so I ran farther.
Who is right? Draw a picture to help you explain your answer.


Concept/skill: 
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve comparing decimals to hundredths. Instead, it involves fraction comparisons.

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

standard_description: Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.
problem_activity: Problem 1
In a marching band there are 24 trombones and 15 snare drums.
Heather says, “The ratio of trombones to snare drums is 24:15.” Audrey says, “No, the ratio of trombones to snare drums is 8:5.” Who is right and why?
Problem 2
You are making a mixed bag of walnuts and cashews. The ratio of the number of walnuts to the number of cashews you want to use is 5:6. You have 54 cashews to include in the mix. How many walnuts should you add? Justify your answer by showing that the new ratio you created of the number of walnuts to cashews is equivalent to 5:6.
