Answer:

1.875 inches apart

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant "1 7/8 inches."

Convert 7/8 to a decimal fraction. Divide 7 by 8 on a calculator; you will get 0.875. Then: 1 7/8 inches = 1.875 inches.

Plant the seeds 1.875 inches apart.

Round to the nearest hundredth if so. Use 3.14 as pi <br>8. r=<br> d =<br> C=78.8 ft

Answer: The radius is 12.54 feet, and the diameter is 25.08 feet.

Explanation: By applying the circumference into the equation r = $\frac{C}{2\pi }$ , we get r = $\frac{78.8}{2\pi }$ which simplifies the radius. And since radius is half of diameter, we multiply by 2 to get the diameter as well to solve the other blank in the problem.
