Question

The town recreation committee raised money to increase the circumference of the jogger’s park, which was initially 1000 feet. It was decided to multiply the radius of the jogger’s park by 3. If this decision were to be implemented, what would be the circumference of the new park?
A. 4000 ft.
B. 5000 ft.
C. 3000 ft.
D. 4500 ft.

Answer 1

Answer:C. 3000 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the radius of the circumference.

By dividing 1000 ft by 2, which is 500, and that is the radius.

Then you multiply the radius by 3, which is 1500.

Finally, you want the circumference, to find the circumference you need to multiply the radius by 2, which is 3000 ft.

That’s it.
