We will determine how far Jada traveled after 37 rotations of the wheels as follows:

First, we will determine the circumference of the wheel:

$c=2\pi r\Rightarrow c=2\pi(10)$
$\Rightarrow c=20\pi$

Now, we determine the distance traveled:

$d=37\cdot20\pi\Rightarrow d=740\pi$
$\Rightarrow d\approx2325$

So, Jada traveled 740pi inches or approximately 2325 inches.
