The question says..."The circumference, or perimeter, of a circle can be found by multiplying its diameter by 3.14" Does that tell you anything?

OpenStudy (mackenzie2013):

Yes, take 3.14 and multiply it by 1/2, correct?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Yes!

OpenStudy (mackenzie2013):

Wouldnt you convert 1/2 into a frection?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

1/2 is already a fraction.

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

No you don't to unless the question requires you to convert.
