To find 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 379, we can substitute the values into the formula using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[ C = 3.14 \times 379 \]
Now, performing the multiplication:
\[ C = 3.14 \times 379 \approx 1196.86 \]
Thus, the approximate circumference of the circle, expressed to the hundredths place, is:
\[ \boxed{1196.86} \]
