Algebra.Com's Answer #525086 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When the smaller gear makes one revolution, its outer edge has traveled the circumference, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now find out the angular measure of the larger gear that travels \n" ); document.write( "Set up a ratio. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So the larger circle made 1/4 revolution. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "We saw before when the small circle makes 1 revolution, the larger make 1/4 revolution. \n" ); document.write( "So if the large one makes one revolution, the small one will make 4 times as many or 4 revolutions.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
