1. Place the missing word to complete the following statement about gear ratios and torque reduction and multiplication using the following words.

Missing Words: dividing, driven, gear, number, larger, multiplication, ratios

Gear _______________ express the mathematical relationship of one gear to another. _______________ ratios can vary by changing the diameter and _______________ of teeth of the gears in mesh. A gear ratio also expresses the amount of torque _______________ between two gears. The ratio is obtained by _______________ the diameter or number of teeth of the _______________ gear by the diameter or teeth of the drive gear. If the smaller driving gear had eleven teeth and the _______________ gear had forty-four teeth, the ratio is 4:1.
