options: Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.

Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
problem_activity: Task
Sara's doctor tells her she needs between 400 and 800 milligrams of folate per day, with part coming from her diet and part coming from a multi-vitamin. Each multi-vitamin contains 50 mg of folate, and because of the inclusion of other vitamins and minerals, she can only take a maximum of 8 tablets per day.
What are the possible combinations of $n$, number of vitamin tablets taken, and $a$, the amount of dietary folate, which will give Sarah exactly the minimum of 400 mg of folate each day? Express your answers in a table.
What are the possible combinations of vitamin tablets and dietary folate which give the maximum of 800 mg of folate each day?
Now use your tables from parts (i) and (ii) to express your answers as a system of three inequalities. Create a graph of $a$ versus $n$, and compare your graph to your tables from parts (i) and (ii).
Suppose instead of a multi-vitamin, Sara is given a powdered folate supplement she can add to water. She can drink any amount of the supplement she wants per day, as long as she does not exceed 400 mg per day. What are the possible combinations of folate she can ingest from her diet and from the powder? Graph your solution set. How does this graph compare to the graph from part (a)?
