To be Devil's Advocate:
Given that the rest written in Comic Sans, it may be an early elementary school exercise, aimed at teaching kids to do multiplications. In this case, it's tolerable and/or defensible to find a simplification for pi.That said, making pi equal to 3 would have been more accurate for that...
Unless the kid is even slightly above average and finds the idea that pi equaling 5 confusing.
...if they're above average, I think they'll figure out the explicitly defined variable. I think the instructor is trying to make sure this problem doesn't require a calculator and figured defining pi as 5 makes it clear that you can treat it as a whole number. 3 would be more accurate and just as easy, but meh idk that this is that great of a blunder.
You can be a smart kid and not realize that adults are lying.
I remember the Peas and the Punnett Square. Sure, mendelian genetics explains pea plant colors, but doesn't explain dog fur colors. Just providing a footnote that more completed genetics exists would have been nice.
Heh nice try but we don't write textbooks or exams for the outliers.
Or it's from an ME. They seldom can remember the rounded value of Pi, but they're pretty sure it's somewhere between 3 and 4. But you probably should use 5 just to be safe.............
