Answer: Second option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of front teeth = 45
Number of rear sprocket teeth = 18
Ratio of front teeth to rear sprocket teeth would be
Number of front teeth : Number of rear sprocket teeth
[tex]45:18\\\\=\dfrac{45}{18}\\\\=2.5[/tex]
Hence, Second option is correct.
