When I have a static route and RIP configured on a router, why is it that the static route with an administrative distance of 1 is preferred over RIP routes with an administrative distance of 120?
Packet Tracer 4.11 is modeled from real routers, in which a static route with a smaller administrative distance is preferred over RIP routes. Instead of using the default administrative distance of 1 for the static routes, you can try using an administrative distance larger than 120 so that RIP routes would be installed in the routing table when they are available and static routes would be installed if RIP routes are not there.
