Step-by-step explanation:
I think it is a strangely worded question as they only refer to the larger gear turning.
I believe that this is what they are going for.
Number of teeth passing in each revolution
The Numbers match when the large gear turns two times as the smaller gear turns three times.
First, to make things easier, let's turn 5/4 into a decimal given a second is equal to 1000 milliseconds.
5/4 = 1,25
1,25 * 1000 = 1250 milliseconds = 1.25 seconds
So, we've found that 45 yards can be covered in 1.25 seconds. Now we'll use the rule of 3:
45 - 1.25
80 - x
Now we solve:
(80 * 1.25) / 45 = x
100 / 45 = x
2,22... = x
So, according to our answer, 80 yards can be covered in 2,22 seconds, which in fractions would be:
