The idea is apparently that the kids are supposed to do the math, and that tells them the answer to the narrative; that is, they aren't given the reading ahead of time.
Looking at the whole page, it looks like the answers are all contained in a paragraph at the top. The pedagogical strategy of using two separate skills to give answer hints across the board may have some merit, I don't know, but that would be their explanation.
They would completely talk past any discussion of the actual contents of the "answer hint" reading.
This is so bad, the 2 things are not connected at all but you can answer either to get the correct answer.
You do not need to know math at all to do the test.
Was there any justification?
kids weren't getting the right answers.

I rather doubt that's how it's actually done.
It's because libs keep screeching about "decolonizing" Math and making Math curriculum more Afrocentric, so this is a stab at that perspective
In the world "biggest coincidence" it looks exactly like the colonizing material with a few minor changes.

I just checked. The paragraph gives just some general information but doesn't contain the answers to the questions.
Thanks. So it's even stupider, then. Impressive.
