Sedbober [7]

Answer:

10 teeth must go on the driven gear

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of teeth be x

In order for the new product to maintain the same ratio as the old the ratio must remain the same. This means that

17:5 = 34:x

$\frac{17}{5} = \frac{34}{x}\\Now\ let\ us\ cross-multiply\\17 \times x = 5 \times 34\\17x = 170\\dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 17 \\x = \frac{170}{17} \\x = 10$

∴ 10 teeth must go on the driven gear

hence ratio = 34:10
