A five-speed bicycle has a chain linking the pedal sprocket to the gears on the rear wheel. The ratio of pedal turns to rear-wheel turns in first gear is 8 to 17. How many times in first gear does the rear wheel turn if the pedals turn 160 times?

9514 1404 393

  340

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each number in the ratio by 20:

  pedal : wheel = 8 : 17 = 160 : 340

The rear wheel turns 340 times when the pedal turns 160 times.

Additional comment

As a reasonableness check, realize that 17 is just slightly more than 2 times 8. Then the number of rear wheel turns will be slightly more than 2 times 160.
