Refresh yourself on the definition of radius and diameter and those questions won't stump you.
To find the width of the display, we need to calculate the total diameter of the 10 pies in a row.
The diameter of a circle is twice the radius.
In this case, the radius of each pie is 4 inches. Thus, the diameter of each pie is 2 * 4 inches = 8 inches.
Since there are 10 pies in a row, we need to multiply the diameter of each pie by 10.
Therefore, the width of the display will be 8 inches * 10 = 80 inches.
So, the width of the display will be 80 inches.
