Gear Ratios

Are everywhere says Mr. B. I just don't look. Gear Ratios come in forms of bikes, cars, and boat a part of everyday life. My bike has 26 Inch wheels and a back sprocket of 14 teeth and a front sprocket of 50 teeth

See?
What That Means is every time you  turn the pedal 1 full time around the wheel moves 3.57 times around. Which for my bike would be about 24 feet.  In my easiest gear to pedal i would only go 1/4 th the distance. See mom i do think and work while i'm  over here. My Homework is to play the integer game with you and dad.
