A track team needed to run or jog 20 laps for their practice. Of the total 20 laps, Sara completed 4/5, Jamie completed 5/8, Keenan completed 5/9, Maya completed 0.833, and Trey completed 0.875. Identify the descending numeric order of the laps completed.(2 points)

Answer 1

To find the descending numeric order of the laps completed, we need to convert each fraction to a decimal form and then arrange them in descending order.

Sara completed 4/5 of the laps, which is equivalent to 4/5 * 20 = 16 laps.
Jamie completed 5/8 of the laps, which is equivalent to 5/8 * 20 = 12.5 laps.
Keenan completed 5/9 of the laps, which is equivalent to 5/9 * 20 = 11.11 laps.
Maya completed 0.833 * 20 = 16.66 laps.
Trey completed 0.875 * 20 = 17.5 laps.

So, in descending order, the laps completed are as follows:
Trey > Maya > Sara > Jamie > Keenan
