To calculate the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[
C = \pi \times d
\]

where \(C\) is the circumference and \(d\) is the diameter.

Given that the diameter \(d\) is 12 inches and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
C \approx 3.14 \times 12
\]

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[
C \approx 3.14 \times 12 = 37.68
\]

Therefore, the approximate circumference of the circle is **37.68 inches**.

Let's go through the calculation again to ensure it's accurate.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

\[
C = \pi \times d
\]

Given:
- Diameter \(d = 12\) inches
- Approximation of \(\pi \approx 3.14\)

Calculating the circumference:

\[
C \approx 3.14 \times 12
\]

Now performing the multiplication step-by-step:

\[
3.14 \times 12 = 37.68
\]

So the approximate circumference of the circle with a diameter of 12 inches is indeed **37.68 inches**.
