As Ally travels the distance between her house and her neighbor’s house on the tricycle, the larger wheel revolves 1010 times and each of the smaller wheels revolve 2525 times. If half the circumference of the larger wheel is 55 inches more than the circumference of one of the smaller wheels, what is the distance, in inches, traveled by the tricycle between Ally’s house and her neighbor’s house?
