Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)
B. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
C. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.


Your response, in json format:
{
  "explanation": "This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).",
  "answer": "B"
}

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

options: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.

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.”
problem_activity: Problem 1
Evaluate the following numerical expressions.
a.
$${-2(5+(3)(-2)+4)}$$
b.
$${-2((5+3)(-2+4))}$$
c.
$${-2(5+3(-2+4))}$$
d.   Can the parentheses in any of these expressions be removed without changing the value of the expression?
Problem 2
An expression is shown below with three expressions that are
not
equivalent to it. Explain the error(s) that were made in writing each expression.
$$\frac{6-3(4-8)}{2(1+2)^2}$$
a.
$$\frac{6-3(4-8)}{2(1+2)^2}$$
$$\neq \frac{3(-4)}{2(3)^2}$$
b.
$$\frac{6-3(4-8)}{2(1+2)^2}$$
$$\neq \frac{6-3(-4)}{(6)^2}$$
c.
$$\frac{6-3(4-8)}{2(1+2)^2}$$
$$\neq \frac{6-12}{(2+4)^2}$$
d.   Evaluate the expression.
Problem 3
Evaluate:
$${\frac{1}{2}(-3-1)^2-\left ( 10 \div \frac{5}{6} \right )}$$
