Jonathan rode 1.05 miles on friday. 1.5 miles on Saturday ,1.25 miles on monday, and 1.1 miles on Tuesday. on which day did he ride the shortest distance
Jonathan rode the shortest distance on Friday, because 1.5= 1.50 (greatest) and 1.25 is greater than 1.10. Now you have 2 options, 1.05 and 1.10. Although the 1 after the decimal in 1.1 is usually less than 5, it is in the tenths place whereas the 5 is in the hundredths place, so therefore the shortest distance is 1.05 mi.
