Given:
Circular racetrack with a diameter of 1/2 mile

Find: how far does a car travel in one lap around the track?

We need to find the circumference of the racetrack.

Circumference is multiplying pi to the diameter of the racetrack.

Circumference = 3.14 * 1/2 mile
Circumference = 3.14/2 mile
Circumference = 1.57 miles rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.60 miles.
