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?


Standard options: 
A. Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
B. 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.
C. Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.” (Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.)


Your response, in json format:
{
  "explanation": "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.",
  "answer": "B"
}

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.

Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.

Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A company hires five people for the same job for one week. The amount that each person is paid for the week is shown in the table below.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"strong": [{"_value": "Person"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person A"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person B"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person C"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person D"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person E"}]}]}, {"td": [{"strong": [{"_value": "Amount Paid"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$360"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$340"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$300"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$200"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$400"}]}]}]}]}
Person D states that the payments are not fair since each person is doing the same job and brings the same set of skills to the job. Everyone agrees that they should all get paid the same amount.
How much should each person get paid so that everyone gets the same amount? Assume that the company will spend the same amount as it currently is.
Problem 2
After finding the average or fair share payment for each person, Person E decides to not take the job because they would be making less money.
a.   If Person E leaves, then what is the new average payment of persons A–D?
b.   What impact did Person E leaving have on the average payment?
Problem 3
The company asks the five people how many hours each person worked that week to complete the job. The results are shown in the table below.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"strong": [{"_value": "Person"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person A"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person B"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person C"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person D"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person E"}]}]}, {"td": [{"strong": [{"_value": "Hours worked"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "24"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "28"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "22"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "20"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "36"}]}]}]}]}
What is the mean, or average, number of hours worked by a person last week?
