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, Trey completed 0.875.

Question

Identify the descending numeric order of the laps completed.

Answer 1

To determine the descending numeric order of the laps completed, we need to convert all the fractions into decimals.

Sara completed 4/5 of the laps, which is equal to 0.8.
Jamie completed 5/8 of the laps, which is equal to 0.625.
Keenan completed 5/9 of the laps, which is equal to 0.555.
Maya completed 0.833 laps.
Trey completed 0.875 laps.

Now, let's arrange these numbers in descending order:

0.875
0.833
0.8
0.625
0.555

Therefore, the descending numeric order of the laps completed is: Trey, Maya, Sara, Jamie, Keenan.
