1. **State the problem:** We are given the circumference $C$ of a circle as 119.32 inches and need to find the diameter $d$ of the circle, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
2. **Formula used:** The circumference of a circle is related to its diameter by the formula:
$$C = \pi d$$
where $\pi \approx 3.14159$.
3. **Solve for diameter:** Rearranging the formula to find $d$:
$$d = \frac{C}{\pi}$$
4. **Substitute the given circumference:**
$$d = \frac{119.32}{\pi}$$
5. **Calculate the value:**
$$d = \frac{119.32}{3.14159}$$
6. **Intermediate step showing cancellation:**
$$d = \frac{\cancel{119.32}}{\cancel{3.14159}}$$ (just indicating division, no common factors to cancel numerically)
7. **Perform the division:**
$$d \approx 37.99$$
8. **Final answer:** The diameter of the circle is approximately **37.99 inches** when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
