WHAT I CAN DO
Activity 6.1

The two sprockets of a bicycle has a definite purpose, mainly the speed of which you
pedal the bike, when you change to a larger gear in the front sprocket and smaller gear in the
back sprocket this will result to an increase of speed and when you change to a smaller front
sprocket and larger back sprocket this will result to the reduction of speed this mainly because of
the gear ratios, a gear ratio is defined by the circumference of the front sprocket over the
circumference of the back sprocket, the answer would of the equation would mean the
revolutions made by the back sprocket when the front sprocket revolves once, for example, let us
say we have a front sprocket with a circumference of 59.69 and a back sprocket with a
circumference 21.99, the quotient would be 2.71 so it means that the back sprocket would
revolve 2.71 times when the front sprocket revolves once.
