To find the descending order of the laps completed by each team member, we first need to convert their fractions and decimals into actual lap counts. The total laps are 20, so we will calculate the number of laps for each team member.
-
Sara: \[ \text{Laps completed} = \frac{4}{5} \times 20 = 16 \text{ laps} \]
-
Jamie: \[ \text{Laps completed} = \frac{5}{8} \times 20 = 12.5 \text{ laps} \]
-
Keenan: \[ \text{Laps completed} = \frac{5}{9} \times 20 \approx 11.11 \text{ laps} \quad (\text{exactly } \frac{100}{9} \text{ laps}) \]
-
Maya: \[ \text{Laps completed} = 0.833 \times 20 \approx 16.66 \text{ laps} \]
-
Trey: \[ \text{Laps completed} = 0.875 \times 20 = 17.5 \text{ laps} \]
Now, we summarize the laps each person completed:
- Sara: 16 laps
- Jamie: 12.5 laps
- Keenan: 11.11 laps (or \( \frac{100}{9} \))
- Maya: 16.66 laps (or \( 20 \times 0.833 \))
- Trey: 17.5 laps
Now, let's put these values in descending order:
- Sara: 16 laps
- Maya: 16.66 laps
- Trey: 17.5 laps
- Jamie: 12.5 laps
- Keenan: 11.11 laps
Organizing them from highest to lowest:
- Trey: 17.5 laps
- Maya: 16.66 laps
- Sara: 16 laps
- Jamie: 12.5 laps
- Keenan: 11.11 laps
So the descending order of the laps completed is:
Trey, Maya, Sara, Jamie, Keenan.
