Sam taped 3 quarters to his ruler. The quarters were taped to the positions 1inch, 9inch, and 11inches. If the pencil was placed under the position 5 inches, do you think the ruler would balance? Why or why not?

there would be a balance...because they are all 4i nches and evanly distributed...but if you didnt put a quarter at the fifth inch there would not be a complete balance making them unbalanced
