Not enough information Dude!
You need to go count the number of teeth on each gear and divide the smaller one into the larger one. That will give you a ratio. Like; if, you got 13 teeth on the small gear and 39 teeth on the large gear you get a 3::1 ratio.
Happy counting......

You can certainly obtain this by counting teeth - but you can get a darn close approximation by turning the input shaft 1 revolution while you see what the output shaft turns.
For an example, if you turn the input 1 turn and the output turns 3 and 1/2 turns, you've got a 1:3.50 ratio.
This is the easy way if there are numerous gears involved.
