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.

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: Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Four sequences are shown below. Which one does not belong and why?
|  $${4, 8, 12, 16, 20 ...}$$  |    $${50, 46, 42, 38, 34, ...}$$    |
|------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
| $${1, 4, 16, 64, 216, ...}$$ | $${1600, 400, 100, 25, 12.5, ...}$$ |
Problem 2
Complete each sequence by filling in the missing terms. Then identify each sequence as arithmetic or geometric and name the common difference or common ratio.
