Question

There are two connected gears. One has 60 teeth and it makes 50 complete revolutions in a minute. How many complete revolutions will the second gear complete, if it has 40 teeth?

Answer 1

60 teeth = 50 revolutions

40 teeth = x revolutions

To figure this out, you can multiply 60 and 50 together to get 3000, and 40 and x to get 40x.

If you solve this equation, 40x = 3000,

x = 75

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

The Second gear will complete 75 revolutions.
