Default Rotational to Linear Gear Reduction calculation

What I did was set my output to 0.1 in/min of linear travel of a
leadscrew. I then measured the time for 1 rotation of the motor shaft
(before it entered the geared linear device) which was 6 sec. From that
info I wanted to backcalculate the gear ratio of the linear mechanism.
