The circumference of a circle equals pi times the diameter. Using 3.14 to approximate pi, what is the approximate circumference in inches of a circle with a diameter of 1/2 in.? (1 point)

To find the approximate circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{diameter} \]

Using 3.14 to approximate \(\pi\) and a diameter of \( \frac{1}{2} \) inch, we can substitute the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Circumference} = 3.14 \times \frac{1}{2} \]

Now, calculating the multiplication:

\[ \text{Circumference} = 3.14 \times 0.5 = 1.57 \text{ inches} \]

So, the approximate circumference of the circle is \( \text{1.57 inches} \).
