Answer:

by packing the books in smaller boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of acceleration, time, distance, speed, velocity, displacement, position, etc.

In this scenario, Macie's job at the bookstore requires her to move several boxes of books. She can use the least amount of force to move the boxes by packing the books in smaller boxes.

Hence, the least (smallest) amount of push or pull force would be required to move the boxes if the books are packed in various small boxes.
