The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.

Answer:

circumference of a circle formula is C=2*pi*r

Step-by-step explanation:

then  

141.3 = 2*pi * r

solve for r

141.3/ (2*pi) = r

22.48859 feet

diameter is  2*r

2*22.48859= 44.9771 feet

divide by 3 because there are 3 feet in one yard

44.9771/3= 14.99239 yds.  

it doesn't say to round off, but I would call this 15 yds.

Diameter is 15 yards   ± .008 yds  That's just about 1/4 of an inch
