Question

A track team needed to run or jog 20 laps for their practice. The total 20 laps Sara completed 4/5 Jamie completed 5/8 Keenan completed 5/9 Maya completed 0.833 and Trey completed 0.875. Identify the descending numeric order of the laps completed.

Answer 1

To find the descending numeric order of the laps completed, we need to convert all fractions into decimals.

Sara completed 4/5 of the laps: 4/5 = 0.8 laps
Jamie completed 5/8 of the laps: 5/8 = 0.625 laps
Keenan completed 5/9 of the laps: 5/9 = 0.5556 laps
Maya completed 0.833 laps
Trey completed 0.875 laps

Now, arranging the laps in descending order:
0.875 laps (Trey)
0.833 laps (Maya)
0.8 laps (Sara)
0.625 laps (Jamie)
0.5556 laps (Keenan)

The descending numeric order of the laps completed is: 0.875, 0.833, 0.8, 0.625, 0.5556.
