| Oct 15, 2021 at 10:42 | comment | added | Steven Gubkin | Sorry, I meant to point out that the LHS is a number which is a little more than 3, while the RHS is a number which is exactly 355. For there to be equality, they should either both be equal to 355 or both be equal to 355/113. I call this "abusing the equals sign" when I talk with students. | |
