document.write( "Question 317472: The speed of a bicycle gear, in revolutions per minute, is inversely proportional to the number of teeth on the gear. If a gear with 60 teeth has a speed of 26 revolutions per minute, what will be the speed of a gear with 66 teeth? Round the answer to the nearest revolution per minute. Show or explain for me please. \n" ); document.write( "

In words:
\n" ); document.write( "( speed of a bicycle gear, in revs/min) = \"k\"*(1/(number of teeth on gear)
\n" ); document.write( "\"k\" is called the constant of proportionality
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"26+=+k%2A%281%2F60%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"k+=+1560\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"s\" = speed of gear
\n" ); document.write( "With 66 teeth:
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+1560%2A%281%2F66%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+24\" revs/min
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
