To find the diameter of a circle given its circumference, you can use the formula:

\[ C = \pi d \]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. Rearranging the formula to solve for \( d \) gives:

\[ d = \frac{C}{\pi} \]

Given that the circumference \( C = 27 \) mm, we can substitute this value into the equation:

\[ d = \frac{27 \text{ mm}}{\pi} \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ d \approx \frac{27}{3.14} \approx 8.6 \text{ mm} \]

Thus, to the nearest tenth of a mm, the diameter is **8.6 mm**.
