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.
