The number represented by “Pi” could be expressed as 22 divided by 7, which is a reasonably good expression for simple low-resolution mathematics. Anyway, that is what I was taught in third grade.
Pie are squared. No, no, Pie are round.

On a hand-held calculator I still use the old 113355 technique: The last three numbers divided by the first three (355/113 = 3.1415929); close enough for what I’m doing with a “archaic device”. Cheers!

Pi are round. Cornbread are square.

22/7 diverges from pi in the third decimal place. It’s a really lousy approximation, despite what we learned in third grade. Better just to memorize 3.141592653 and have more than enough correct digits for any application outside of astronomy or atomic physics.
And you have a “pi” key on your calculator anyway.
