[tex]\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{x}{\textit{larger gear}}}{\underset{y}{\textit{smaller gear}}}\qquad \cfrac{6}{1}~\hfill \cfrac{\stackrel{x}{72}}{y}=\cfrac{6}{1}\implies 72=6y\implies \cfrac{72}{6}=y\implies 12=y[/tex]
There are 12 teeth on the smaller gear.
Given that, the ratio of the larger gear: the smaller gear =6:1.
The number of teeth on the larger gear is 72.
What is the ratio?
In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another.
Now, [tex]\frac{6}{7} \times x=72[/tex]
x=84
Small gear=84-72=12.
Therefore, the number of teeth on the smaller gear is 12.
