Question

What is the radius of a circle if the diameter is 3 yards

Answer 1

To find the radius of the circle, we simply multiply the diameter

by 1/2 and we will get the radius of the circle.

So we have 3 × 1/2.

Think of the 3 as 3 over 1 so we have 3/1 × 1/2.

Multiplying, we get 3/2.

Now, 3 divided by 2 simplifies to 1.5.

So the radius is 1.5.
