Answer 1

Heather rode the farthest

She rode 0.1km farther than Hailey.

Explanation:

This is a conversion of units question.

Heather rode her horse 2 kilometers.

Hailey rode 1900 meters on her horse.

Each km has 1000 meters.

So 1900 meters = 1900/1000 = 1.9 km

This means that Hailey rode for 1.9 km.

Heather rode the farthest(2km is greather than 1.9km)

2 - 1.9 = 0.1km

She rode 0.1km farther than Hailey.
