The rotation of the gears in he mesh involves a circular motion

The second gear has 2 teeth

<h3>How to determine the number of teeth?</h3>

The given parameter can be represented using the following ratio:

Ratio = Teeth : Revolution

So, we have:

23 : 60 = Teeth : 5

Express as fraction

23/60 = Teeth/5

Multiply both sides by 5

Teeth = 5*23/60

Evaluate the product

Teeth = 2

Hence, the second gear has 2 teeth
