Answer:

C. 22

Step-by-step explanation:

C = circumference

n (pi) = 22/7

r = 3 1 /2

Plug in the numbers for each variable.

C = 2x (22/7) x (3 1/2)

Change the mixed number inIto an improper fraction by multiplying 3 x 2 and adding the 1 which gives us 7 over 2 because 2 is our denominator  so, 3 1/2 = 7/2. It also helps to have 1 as the denominator for 2.

C = (2/1) x (22/7) x (7/2)

Lastly, just multiply the numerators across which give us 308 then multiply the denominators across which gives us 14, so then we divide 308 by 14 and get 22.
