Final answer:

The RPM of the other gear is 263.57 RPM.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the RPM (Rotations Per Minute) of the other gear, we can use the formula:

RPM1 / RPM2 = teeth1 / teeth2

By substituting the given values, we get:

RPM1 / RPM2 = 28 / 35

Rearranging the equation to solve for RPM2:

RPM2 = RPM1 * teeth2 / teeth1

Substituting the given values, we have:

RPM2 = 210 * 35 / 28 = 263.57 RPM
