The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to its edge. The diameter is a straight line passing from one point on the edge to another which passes through the center. Draw these and you will see that the diameter is really just two aligned radii, so the radius is always exactly half of the diameter.

8 inches; the diameter of a circle is twice its radius.
8 inches. Radius is ½ diameter.
The diameter is double the radius, so 8 inches.
Radius of circle: 16/2 = 8 inches
The radius is one half the diameter so if the diameter is 8 inches then the radius is 4 inches.
