1. The problem asks for the circumference of a circle with radius $5.00$ inches. 2. The formula for the circumference $C$ of a circle with radius $r$ is: $$ C = 2 \pi r $$ 3. Substitute $r = 5.00$ inches and use $\pi = 3.14$: $$ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5.00 $$ 4. Calculate the product: $$ C = 31.4 \text{ inches} $$ 5. The circumference of the circle is $31.4$ inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 31.4 inches.
