The mechanical advantage of a class 1 lever is calculated by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the effort by the distance from the fulcrum to the load. In this case, the distance from the fulcrum to the effort is 60 units and the distance from the fulcrum to the load is 6 units. Therefore, the mechanical advantage is 10 (60/6).
