Two cogged wheels, of which one has  16 cogs and other has 27, work into   each other. If the latter turns 80 times in   three quarters of a minute, how often  does the other turn in 8 seconds?

w_1    16 cogs   ((27)/(16)) turns   135t./45s = 3t./s = 24turns/8seconds  w_2    27 cogs     1 turn       80t./45s
$$\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{1}} \:\:\:\mathrm{16}\:\mathrm{cogs}\:\:\:\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{16}}\:\mathrm{turns}\:\:\:\mathrm{135t}./\mathrm{45s}\:=\:\mathrm{3t}./\mathrm{s}\:=\:\mathrm{24turns}/\mathrm{8seconds} \\ $$$$\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\:\:\mathrm{27}\:\mathrm{cogs}\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{turn}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{80t}./\mathrm{45s} \\ $$
