Solution

The gear ratio is determined by dividing the number of teeth on the driven gear by the number of teeth on the drive gear.

Step 1: Identify the number of teeth on both gears. In this case, the drive gear has 10 teeth and the driven gear has 40 teeth.

Step 2: Divide the number of teeth on the driven gear by the number of teeth on the drive gear.

So, 40 (driven gear) ÷ 10 (drive gear) = 4

Therefore, the gear ratio is 4:1. This means that for every one turn of the drive gear, the driven gear will turn four times.
