To identify the laps completed in descending order, we first convert all the numbers to a decimal form for comparison:

  • Sara: 45 laps
  • Jamie: 58 laps
  • Keenan: 59 laps
  • Maya: 0.833 laps
  • Trey: 0.875 laps

Now, we can compare these values:

  • Keenan: 59 laps
  • Jamie: 58 laps
  • Sara: 45 laps
  • Trey: 0.875 laps
  • Maya: 0.833 laps

Putting them in descending order:

  1. 59 (Keenan)
  2. 58 (Jamie)
  3. 45 (Sara)
  4. 0.875 (Trey)
  5. 0.833 (Maya)

Thus, the descending order of laps completed in original form is:

Keenan, Jamie, Sara, Trey, Maya.
