Answer:

8:1

Explanation:

The gear ratio is determined by dividing the number of teeth on the driven gear by the number of teeth on the driver gear.

In this case:


\sf \textsf{Gear Ratio} = \frac{\textsf{Number of Teeth on Driven Gear}}{\textsf{Number of Teeth on Driver Gear}}

Substitute the given values:


\sf \textsf{Gear Ratio} = (128)/(16)

Simplify the fraction:


\sf \textsf{Gear Ratio} = 8

Therefore, the gear ratio in this automobile engine is
\sf 8:1.
