Answer 1

To arrange the laps completed by each team member in descending order, we first convert all the decimal laps into fractions for easy comparison:

• Sara: 45 laps
• Jamie: 58 laps
• Keenan: 59 laps
• Maya: 0.833 laps (which is approximately 5/6 laps)
• Trey: 0.875 laps (which is 7/8 laps)

Now, we can convert 0.833 and 0.875 into a decimal form for comparison:

• Maya: 0.833 (approximately)
• Trey: 0.875

Next, we can summarize the complete list of laps in decimal form:

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

Now, we can write these laps in descending numeric order:

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

Thus, the descending numeric order of the laps completed is:

Keenan, Jamie, Sara, Trey, Maya
