1. The problem states that a group of students formed a circle with a circumference of about 43.96 feet and a diameter of 14 feet. 2. We want to find the expression that best represents the value of $\pi$. 3. Recall the formula for the circumference of a circle: $$ C = \pi \times d $$ where $C$ is the circumference and $d$ is the diameter. 4. To find $\pi$, rearrange the formula: $$ \pi = \frac{C}{d} $$ 5. Substitute the given values: $$ \pi = \frac{43.96}{14} $$ 6. Therefore, the expression that best represents the value of $\pi$ is: $$ \frac{43.96}{14} $$ This matches the third option in the multiple-choice list. Final answer: $\frac{43.96}{14}$
