Question:
The circumference of a clock is 22 inches. What is the radius of the clock?
Answer:
Radius = 3.5 inches
Solution:
Shape of the clock is circle.
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
Circumference of a clock = 22 inches

![$\Rightarrow2*(22)/(7)* r=22](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/8x9b4ea7h6md82ntvkpurcowcw1z41ca91.png)
![$\Rightarrow(44)/(7)* r=22](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/53pbeqp5pwcexsa0r1hk9xg4tui1g463cg.png)
![$\Rightarrow r=22* (7)/(44)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/6wkdlp5d4j80yio20aqt7yp2l87pwtwfml.png)
![$\Rightarrow r=(7)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/fxbv9j0eef7y1og99kx4ev7hk0sbe67wy2.png)
⇒ r = 3.5 inches
Hence the radius of the clock is 3.5 inches.
