To identify the descending numeric order of the laps completed by each member of the track team, we need to convert all the fractions and decimals into the same format (decimal).
-
Sara: Completed \( \frac{4}{5} \) laps.
- \( \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 \)
-
Jamie: Completed \( \frac{5}{8} \) laps.
- \( \frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \)
-
Keenan: Completed \( \frac{5}{9} \) laps.
- \( \frac{5}{9} \approx 0.555 \)
-
Maya: Completed \( 0.833 \) laps.
-
Trey: Completed \( 0.875 \) laps.
Now, we list all the completed laps in decimal form:
- Sara: 0.8
- Jamie: 0.625
- Keenan: approximately 0.555
- Maya: 0.833
- Trey: 0.875
Next, we will arrange them in descending order:
- Trey: 0.875
- Maya: 0.833
- Sara: 0.8
- Jamie: 0.625
- Keenan: 0.555
Therefore, the descending numeric order of the laps completed is:
Trey, Maya, Sara, Jamie, Keenan
You can enter this in the provided blanks as: Trey, Maya, Sara, Jamie, Keenan
