Question

a gear ratio is the ratio of the teeth on the front sprocket and the teeth on the rear sprocket.if a bike has 36 teeth on the front sprocket and 12 rear teeth,what is the gear ratio for the bike

Answer 1

3 : 1

Explanation:

ratio = teeth on front sprocket : teeth on rear sprocket

= 36 : 12 ( divide both parts of the ratio by 12 )

= 3 : 1 ← in simplest form

Answer 2

Ratio will be :
`(3)/(1)`

Explanation:

A gear ratio is the ratio of the teeth on the front sprocket and the teeth on the rear sprocket.

When a bike has 36 teeth on the front sprocket and 12 rear teeth, the gear ratio will be :

`(36)/(12)=(3)/(1)`

We can also write this as 3:1
