Answer 1

To determine the order of the distances run by Joseph, Colby, and Susie, we need to calculate Joseph's distance as well as what we know about Colby's and Susie's distances.

1. Joseph ran \( \sqrt{149} \) miles. We can approximate this: \[ \sqrt{149} \approx 12.21 \text{ miles} \]

2. Colby ran 13 miles.

3. Susie's distance isn't quantified but is stated to be the direct path from the library to her house. Without a specific distance, we cannot determine how far Susie ran compared to Joseph and Colby.

Now we can compare the known distances:

• Joseph: approximately 12.21 miles
• Colby: 13 miles

Since we don't have a specific distance for Susie, we cannot accurately place her in the order. However, we can order Joseph and Colby based on the known distances:

• Colby (13 miles)
• Joseph (approximately 12.21 miles)
• Susie (unknown distance)

Thus, the possible order of names from longest to shortest distance, based on the information we have, is:

Colby, Joseph, Susie.

So the correct response is: Colby, Joseph, Susie.
