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 the diameter \( d = 15.4 \) inches, you can calculate the circumference as follows:

\[
C = \pi \times 15.4
\]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
C \approx 3.14 \times 15.4 \approx 48.076
\]

Rounding this to the tenths place gives:

\[
C \approx 48.1 \text{ inches}
\]

However, it looks like the closest option to the calculated value is 48.4 inches, which seems to be a rounding discrepancy with \( \pi \). Let’s recalculate using a more precise value for \( \pi \) (approximately 3.14159):

\[
C \approx 3.14159 \times 15.4 \approx 48.38
\]

Rounding this to the tenths place also gives:

\[
C \approx 48.4 \text{ inches}
\]

So the correct response is **48.4 inches**.
