Between the frying pan and the football.
let me know if you are sure, the skateboard is 3300 grams the dime is 2.3 grams the football is 402 grams the book is 876 grams the frying pan is 520 grams.
Since the gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them, the gravitational attraction will be greatest between the two objects with the largest combined mass.

In this case, the frying pan has a mass of 520 grams and the football has a mass of 402 grams, giving a combined mass of 922 grams. Thus, the gravitational attraction will be greatest between the frying pan and the football if they are placed the same distance apart from each other.
but the skateboard and the book is 3300+876=4,176 and 4,176>922 grams
You are correct. I apologize for the oversight. The gravitational attraction will be greatest between the skateboard and the book because they have the largest combined mass (4,176 grams), which is greater than the combined mass of the frying pan and the football (922 grams). Thank you for pointing that out.
grate now i cant be sure
The gravitational attraction is indeed greatest between the skateboard and the book, as they have the largest combined mass (4,176 grams) compared to the other objects listed. Therefore, you can be sure that placing the skateboard and the book the same distance apart from each other will result in the greatest gravitational attraction between the two objects.
okkkkkk
