This was written by an engineer. They rounded up to 5 for the safety factor.

Maybe Vader some day later, but now it's just about prime.

What kind of problem gives you the formula and all variable to replace? At this point, why not just write 5•10²•10=?

Cause reading comprehension is part of the test. Lots of kids will be able to solve that equation, but there's a bunch who can't understand it if it's presented this way.
Honestly here they should have done "round pi to two decimal places" or smth.

One written in Comic fucking Sans

Intro to algebra type stuff to make sure you understand the concept of variables in the first place

Even then, I would want them to leave π in the problem itself. That would be much better for this exercise - teaching that you report “exact” values with π still in them.

Eg, if I rewrote this problem, I would expect an answer of 1000π.

Pi= 5 in this teachers reality. Circles must look wonky.

...fractal circumferences can be whatever length you want for any given mean radius...

It makes it easy to do the math in your head without a calculator. But still , just tossing out pi=5 is not the way to go about creating these problems.

Man the Americans... everyone knows that π=-10

the Speaker accepted another member's recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could "find a deserved grave"
