Question

A track team ran 30 laps, John ran 1/3, Tammy ran 0.2, and Kenny ran 7/15, identify the descending numeric order of the laps completed

Answer 1

To find the descending numeric order of laps completed by John, Tammy, and Kenny, we need to calculate how many laps each person ran.

1. **John**:
- John ran \( \frac{1}{3} \) of 30 laps.
\[
\text{Laps by John} = 30 \times \frac{1}{3} = 10
\]

2. **Tammy**:
- Tammy ran \( 0.2 \) of 30 laps.
\[
\text{Laps by Tammy} = 30 \times 0.2 = 6
\]

3. **Kenny**:
- Kenny ran \( \frac{7}{15} \) of 30 laps.
\[
\text{Laps by Kenny} = 30 \times \frac{7}{15} = 14
\]

Now we have the following laps completed:
- John: 10 laps
- Tammy: 6 laps
- Kenny: 14 laps

To put them in descending numeric order:
1. Kenny: 14 laps
2. John: 10 laps
3. Tammy: 6 laps

Thus, the descending numeric order of laps completed is:
**Kenny, John, Tammy** (14, 10, 6).
