a bicycle chain moves along two sprockets when you shift gears. The number of teeth on the front sprocket and the number of teeth on the rear sprocket form a ration. Equivalent ratios provide equal pedaling power. Find a ratio equivalent to the ratio 2.16666666667

Note that

 

13 / 6   =   2.16666666667

 

So   .....any  ratio  =   [13 * n ] / [ 6 * n]   will work   [where n is an integer  > 0 ]

 

For example, if n = 4

 

[52] / [24]  = 2.16666666667

 

 

cool cool cool
