Chris lives farther from the school than Alex, and Chris walked to school at a faster rate than Alex walked.

Explanation: At time 0 Chris is 4 miles away and Alex 2 miles away, so Chris lives farther. Chris goes from 4 to 3 miles in 15 minutes (1 mile/15 min), while Alex goes from 2 to 1 mile in 25 minutes (1 mile/25 min), so Chris walked faster.
