To find the circumference of a circular table, you can use the formula:
\[ C = \pi \times d \]
where \(C\) is the circumference and \(d\) is the diameter. Given that the diameter of the table is 16 inches and using \(\pi \approx 3.14\), we can calculate the circumference as follows:
\[ C = 3.14 \times 16 \]
Now, multiply:
\[ C = 50.24 \text{ inches} \]
Therefore, the approximate circumference of the table is 50.24 inches.
