Michael used a stopwatch to time the baseball pitches for three of his friends. The times are listed in the table.

Question

The table titled Pitching times has pitcher and time in seconds. Pete pitched in 0.537 seconds, Ivan pitched in 0.58 seconds, and KaShawn pitched in 0.4996 seconds.

Which list shows the friends in order from the shortest time to the longest time?

Answer 1

To order the friends from the shortest pitching time to the longest pitching time, we need to compare their recorded times:

• KaShawn: 0.4996 seconds
• Pete: 0.537 seconds
• Ivan: 0.58 seconds

Arranging these from shortest to longest time gives us:

1. KaShawn: 0.4996 seconds
2. Pete: 0.537 seconds
3. Ivan: 0.58 seconds

So, the order from shortest time to longest time is:

1. KaShawn
2. Pete
3. Ivan
