Answer 1

To arrange the friends in order from the shortest time to the longest time, we first note the pitching times:

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

Now let's order them from shortest to longest:

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

Thus, the correct order is:

D. KaShawn, Ivan, Pete
