The writing looks like first or second grade. Where do they teach fractions in that grade?

How ruined the question
Cancel that teachers staff pizza party in lieu of a payrise pass.
Ahh, fractions and word problems, the bane of my education (seriously, why do we bother with fractions when decimals are easier to compute and express?)

I had situations like this at least a few times a year in school.
I usually managed to convince the teacher I was right.
And yah this kid is almost certainly ND.
Not just the answer, but the handwriting screams dysgraphia.
It looks a lot like mine.
Or the kid just understands the given scenario and prioritized coming up with a valid answer instead of assuming the question is bad. You don't have to be ND to be thoughtful/observant or to be surprised that the question expected to be called out as wrong that early.
On the handwriting, it could be that, or it could be typical elementary school handwriting. Or someone imitating elementary school writing for internet points in a fake math question.
