Given:

The radius of the circular garden is 50 feet.

First, find the circumference of the circle.


\begin{gathered} C=2\pi* r \\ C=2\pi(50) \\ C=100*3.14 \\ C=314 \end{gathered}

As we know that 6 inches equal 1/2 feet.


(314)/((1)/(2))=314*2=628

Answer: There are 628 flowers will be needed for 314 feet circular garden.
