Answer:

Explanation:

Workdone is the force applied to move a body in a specified direction.  

  Work done  = Force x distance

For first box;

          Work done  = 500 x 1.2  = 600J

For the second box = 500 x 5  = 2500J

Lauren did more work compared to Charlie because he move the box through a larger height which is the distance in this scenario.
