To determine the order of the distances run by Joseph, Colby, and Susie, we need to compare the distances.
-
Joseph ran \( \sqrt{149} \) miles. To calculate this: \[ \sqrt{149} \approx 12.21 \text{ miles} \]
-
Colby ran 13 miles.
-
Susie's distance isn't specified with a numerical value, as it's described as the direct path from the library to her house. Without additional information about the actual distance she ran, we cannot determine her distance in relation to Joseph's and Colby's.
Given Joseph's approximate distance of 12.21 miles and Colby's distance of 13 miles, we can analyze the distances as follows if we assume Susie's distance is less than 12.21 miles:
- Colby: 13 miles
- Joseph: \( \sqrt{149} \approx 12.21 \) miles
- Susie: Unknown, but potentially less than Joseph’s or more depending on exact distance
Assuming Susie's distance is indeed less than Joseph's:
- Colby (longest)
- Joseph
- Susie
If Susie's distance is more than Joseph’s but less than Colby’s:
- Colby (longest)
- Susie
- Joseph
If Susie ran farther than both, the order would be:
- Susie
- Colby
- Joseph
Since we don’t have Susie’s exact distance, if we consider only the known values, the reasonable assumptions lead to:
Colby, Joseph, Susie (assuming Susie's distance is less than Joseph's).
Therefore, the corresponding answer given the limited distance information is likely:
- Colby, Joseph, Susie (if Susie's distance is less than that of Joseph).
So the best assumption is Colby, Joseph, Susie if we stick to the known distances.
