A student uses a pencil as a lever to launch a piece of trash into the trashcan. If the student positions a marker as the fulcrum just 2.8 cm from where she applies effort, and 7 cm from the piece of trash to the fulcrum, what is the mechanical advantage the lever gives?

Formulas:
Mechanical advantage = effort distance/resistance distance
Mechanical advantage = resistance force/effort force
Work = force × distance
