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: Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related. For example, a + 0.05a = 1.05a means that “increase by 5%” is the same as “multiply by 1.05.”

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Read each situation below and then answer the questions that follow.
Situation A:
In the spring, an animal shelter had 216 animals. By the end of the summer, this number decreased by 8%. How many animals were at the shelter at the end of summer?
Situation B:
After advertising for adoptions on local television, an animal shelter decreased the number of animals at the shelter by 8%. There are now 216 animals. How many animals were at the shelter before the advertising?
a.   Sketch a visual diagram to represent each situation.
b.   How are the two situations similar?
c.   How are the two situations different?
Problem 2
A store sells backpacks in two sizes: small and large. The large backpacks sell for 20% more than the smaller backpacks. If a large backpack costs $75, how much does the small size cost?
Draw a visual representation of the situation, and then use an equation to solve.
