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?

A.
KaShawn, Pete, Ivan

B.
KaShawn, Ivan, Pete

C.
Ivan, Pete, KaShawn

D.
Pete, Ivan, KaShawn

Answer 1

To determine the order of the pitching times from shortest to longest, we can compare the times given:

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

Now, if we arrange these in ascending order:

1. KaShawn: 0.4996 seconds (shortest)
2. Pete: 0.537 seconds
3. Ivan: 0.58 seconds (longest)

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

A. KaShawn, Pete, Ivan
