Final Answer:
Tony walked longer.
──────────────────────────────────────
Explanation:
We need to compare two decimal numbers: 15.52 and 15.25.
First, look at the whole number part — both are 15. So we move to the decimal part.
Now compare the tenths place: 5 (in 15.52) vs. 2 (in 15.25).
Since 5 is bigger than 2, 15.52 is bigger than 15.25.
That means Tony walked farther than Troy.

Final Answer:
Rony saved more money each day.
──────────────────────────────────────
Explanation:
We are comparing $0.95 and $1.05.
Look at the whole dollar part first: 0 vs. 1.
1 is bigger than 0, so $1.05 is more than $0.95.
Even though 95 cents sounds like a lot, $1.05 is still more because it’s over one full dollar.
So Rony saved more each day.

Final Answer:
8.608 miles
──────────────────────────────────────
Explanation:
Steven ran Monday to Friday — that’s 5 days.
We add up all the miles he ran each day:
Monday: 2.04
Tuesday: 1.918
Wednesday: 2.5
Thursday: 0.85
Friday: 1.3
Let’s line them up by decimal point and add:
2.040
1.918
2.500
0.850
+1.300
—————
8.608
So Steven ran 8.608 miles total this week.

Final Answer:
11.5 cm
──────────────────────────────────────
Explanation:
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up all four sides.
A rectangle has two equal long sides and two equal short sides.
Here, the long side is 4.25 cm and the short side is 1.5 cm.
So:
Top + Bottom = 4.25 + 4.25 = 8.5 cm
Left + Right = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3.0 cm
Now add them together: 8.5 + 3.0 = 11.5 cm
Or use the formula: Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)
= 2 × (4.25 + 1.5)
= 2 × 5.75
= 11.5 cm
That’s the total distance around the rectangle.
