A bicycle odometer is attached near the wheel axle and it records revolutions to calculate the total distance traveled. Meghan Chia's odometer is calibrated for 27-inch wheels, but her bike has 24-inch wheels. If the odometer tells her she rode 10 miles, how far did she really ride? [In real life, Meghan would never purchase the wrong odometer for her bike.]
