Answer:

The diameter of the circle is 24.9 in

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we need to use the circumference formula of a circle and clear d:

c = circumference = 78.1 in

d = diameter

π = 3.14

c = π * d

d = c / π

we replace the known values

d = 78.1 in / 3.14

d = 24.8726 in

round to the nearest tenth

d = 24.8726 in = 24.9 in

The diameter of the circle is 24.9 in
