Question

Eva walked $4.5$ miles on Wednesday, $3.75$ miles on Thursday, and $4.25$ miles on Friday. Which day did she walk the most?

• A. Thursday
  
• B. Wednesday
• C. She walked the same distance on all days
• D. Friday

Answer 1

The correct option is B Wednesday

To compare the numbers, we align the decimal points on a number line.

$3.75$ is to the left of $4.25$ on the number line, and the number to the left of the number line is always smaller.
Similarly, $4.25$ is on the left side of $4.5$ on the number line.

Hence,
$3.75<4.25<\mathrm{4.5.}$
Eva walked the farthest on Wednesday.
