Currently a product has a gear ratio of 17:5, driver:driven. If the company wants to change the product to have the same gear ratio but a driver with 34 teeth, how many teeth must go on the the driven gear?

10 teeth must go on the driven gear

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of teeth be x

In order for the new product to maintain the same ratio as the old the ratio must remain the same. This means that

17:5 = 34:x

∴ 10 teeth must go on the driven gear

hence ratio = 34:10
