Answer:

The correct answer would be 6.5. because you would round 6 1/2 into 6.5. Also be sure when you are multiplying you have a mixed number.

Answer: B.
6.5\pi\text{ inches}

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by :-


C=2\pi r , where r is the radius of the circle.

We are given that the radius of a circle is
3(1)/(4) inches.

First we convert
3(1)/(4) into improper fractIon, we get


3(1)/(4)=(3(4)+1)/(4)=(13)/(4)

Now, circumference of the circle will be :-


C=2\pi *(13)/(4)\\\\ C=(13)/(2)\pi\\\\ C=6.5\pi\text{ inches}

Hence, the exact circumference of a circle =
6.5\pi\text{ inches}
