PROJECT NAME:
JEEP A TIME FOR A RIDDLE
✓ A small gear (8) drives a large
gear (40). An 8 gear is attached
on the same axle as the large
gear. The second 8 gear then
drives another 40 gear. How
many turns will the second 40
gear make after one full rotation
of the first small gear?
✓ Ans: 1/25
Gear ratio helps us understand the
rotation of the driven gear by the
driver gear.
