Answer:

A. 0.25

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction can be calculated as follows:

friction coefficient = force of friction / force of weight

The force of friction is equal to the force applied to the book bag, which is 5 pounds, and the force of weight is equal to the weight of the book bag, which is 20 pounds.

friction coefficient = 5 / 20

friction coefficient = 1/4 or 0.25

So the coefficient of friction between the floor and the book bag is 0.25.
