The product  radius * angular speed is THE SAME for every such a transmission 

    (because the linear speed of the two circular gears is the same (!) )


Therefore,  6 inches * 5 revolutions = 10 inches * x revolution,


which gives you the number of revolution of the larger gear  x =  = 3.    ANSWER

Solved.
