Each time the pedal goes around once, how many times does the rear gear (and wheel) go around?

If the pedal goes around 4 times, how many times will the rear wheel go around?

Will this combination result in a higher speed than the 2:1 gear ratio? Justify your answer.

Place the medium gear between the large gear and the small gear.
How many times will the large gear rotate if the small gear makes eight rotations?

Write instructions for another person who doesn’t have gears in their hands to help them understand how to figure out how many times the smaller gear rotates for every one rotation of the larger gear. Be sure to reference the number of teeth in your explanation.
