Answer:

(b) He used the radius instead the diameter.

Formulae to calculate the circumference of the tire is = π × d.

where π is 22/7 and d is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

when we calculate the circumference the answer will be

π × d =22/7 x 15 = 47.1

while the answer Mario computes is 23.55 inches.

Thus the error occurs in the formulae that are, Mario multiplies with the radius instead of diameter.

π × d/2 = 22/7 x 15/2 = 23.55
