    Option B. 2.75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It has been given in the question that a wedge has a width of 2 cm and a slope of 5.5 cm. We have to calculate the mechanical advantage of the given wedge.

    We know the formula to calculate the mechanical advantage of the wedge

    Mechanical advantage = Length of slope/Thickness of the widest end

    = 5.5:2 = 2.75

    Therefore the answer is option B. 2.75
