Conventionally, f o g is a way to represent the operation of function g followed by function f.

So for example, suppose f(x) = x + 2 and g(x) = 3x

then f o g (x) = f[g(x)] = f(3x) = 3x + 2

Note, though, that the "o" operator is not commutative.

g o f (x) = g[f(x)] = g(x + 2) = 3*(x + 2) = 3x + 6 which is not the same as f o g(x).

Such "nested" or "chained" functions are particularly useful in calculus (differentation and integration).

If the diameter of a circle is sixteen feet what is the value in inches?

The value of a circle could mean many things. Assuming the question is asking for the diameter of a sixteen-foot-diameter circle in inches, the diameter of the circle would be 192 inches. ---- One foot equals twelve inches [ 1 ft. = 12 in. ] Sixteen times twelve equals one-hundred ninety-two [ 16 * 12 = 192 ] Sixteen feet equals one-hundred ninety-two inches [ 16 ft. = 192 in. ]
