To compare the laps completed by each individual, let's convert all the values to a common format.

1. **Sarah**: \( \frac{4}{5} \) of 20 laps = \( \frac{4}{5} \times 20 = 16 \) laps
2. **Jamie**: \( \frac{5}{8} \) of 20 laps = \( \frac{5}{8} \times 20 = 12.5 \) laps
3. **Kennedy**: \( \frac{5}{9} \) of 20 laps = \( \frac{5}{9} \times 20 \approx 11.11 \) laps
4. **Maya**: 0.833 of 20 laps = \( 0.833 \times 20 = 16.66 \) laps
5. **Trey**: 0.875 of 20 laps = \( 0.875 \times 20 = 17.5 \) laps

Now we can summarize the laps completed:

- Sarah: 16 laps
- Jamie: 12.5 laps
- Kennedy: 11.11 laps
- Maya: 16.66 laps
- Trey: 17.5 laps

Now, listing these numbers in descending order:

1. **Maya**: 16.66 laps
2. **Trey**: 17.5 laps
3. **Sarah**: 16 laps
4. **Jamie**: 12.5 laps
5. **Kennedy**: 11.11 laps

So, the descending order of laps completed is:

1. Maya: 16.66
2. Trey: 17.5
3. Sarah: 16
4. Jamie: 12.5
5. Kennedy: 11.11

Ordering by the actual laps completed, they are:

1. Trey: 17.5 laps
2. Maya: 16.66 laps
3. Sarah: 16 laps
4. Jamie: 12.5 laps
5. Kennedy: 11.11 laps

Final descending order of laps completed:
- Trey
- Maya
- Sarah
- Jamie
- Kennedy
