If a circle has a radius of 14 feet, how many 6-inch pencils can be placed end-to-end across the diameter of the circle? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
A circle with a radius of 14 feet has a diameter of 2 * 14 = 28 feet. A six - inch pencil is 6 / 12 = 0.5 feet long. Thus, across a 28 - foot diameter, one can place 28 / 0.5 = 56 6 - inch pencils.
Therefore, the answer is 56.
