Jill has designed a ramp to help her move heavy boxes into a moving truck that she thinks works much better than the one provided by the moving company. The back of the truck is 1 meter high. Jill has a ramp that is 3 meters long. The moving company’s ramp is 2.5 meters long. Is Jill correct that her ramp has a greater mechanical advantage? Why or why not?

Jill is right because it would make everything easier to move because it wouldn't be as steep with the longer ramp.
