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

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. Given that the circumference \( C \) is approximately 7,459 miles and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), you can rearrange the formula to solve for the diameter \( d \):

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

Substituting the values:

\[ d = \frac{7459}{3.14} \]

Now, performing the division:

\[ d \approx 2377.84 \]

Thus, the diameter rounded to the nearest hundredths place is:

\[ \boxed{2377.84} \text{ miles} \]
