I've never done this type of problem before so I might be wrong but I think the answer is 20420352.25 cm

I just took the circumference (204.2035225) and multipled 100,000 which seems too simple to be right

Answer:

204.28 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the wheel = 2(3.142)(32.5) = 204.23 cm

1 turn = 204.23 cm

100,000 turns = 204.23 x 100,000 = 2043000 cm

2043000 cm = 204,230 m = 204.28 km
