\huge\text{Hey there!}


\text{The formula for mechanical advantage is: }\rm{MA = (F_o)/(F_i)}\\\\\rm{Whereas, MA\ is: Mechanical\ average, F_o \ is \ the\ out put \ force, \ \& \ F_i\ is\ the\ in put}}\\\rm{force.}


\rm{MA = (0.72)/(1.85)\ or\ MA = (1.85)/(0.72)}\\\\\\\text{SIMPLIFYING }\rm{MA = (0.72)/(1.85)}\\\\\rm{MA \approx 0.72/ 1.85}\\\rm{MA \approx 0.3892}\\\rm{MA\approx 0.4}\\\\\\\text{SIMPLIFYING }\rm{MA = (1.85)/(0.72)}\\\\\rm{MA \approx 1.85/ 0.72}\\\rm{MA \approx 2.5694}\\\rm{MA \approx 2.6}\\\\\\\\\huge\text{Your answer probably is: \boxed{\mathsf{Option \ B. \bf 2.6}}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
