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, and Trey completed 0.875. Identify the descending numeric order of the laps completed.(2 points)
To put the laps completed in descending order, we need to convert all the lap completion fractions to decimals.
Sara completed 4/5 of the 20 laps, which is equal to (4/5) * 20 = 16 laps.
Jamie completed 5/8 of the 20 laps, which is equal to (5/8) * 20 = 12.5 laps.
Keenan completed 5/9 of the 20 laps, which is equal to (5/9) * 20 = 11.111 laps.
Maya completed 0.833 of the 20 laps, which is equal to 0.833 * 20 = 16.66 laps.
Trey completed 0.875 of the 20 laps, which is equal to 0.875 * 20 = 17.5 laps.
In descending order of laps completed: Trey (17.5 laps), Maya (16.66 laps), Sara (16 laps), Jamie (12.5 laps), Keenan (11.111 laps).
Is that the answer
Yes, that is the correct answer. The descending order of laps completed is:
1. Trey with 17.5 laps
2. Maya with 16.66 laps
3. Sara with 16 laps
4. Jamie with 12.5 laps
5. Keenan with 11.111 laps

Kim made three quiches for a party: cheese, spinach, and mushroom. The cheese quiche was cut into 8 equal pieces, the spinach quiche was cut into 16 equal pieces, and the mushroom quiche was cut into 4 equal pieces. At the party, people ate 5 pieces of the cheese, 9 pieces of the spinach, and 2 pieces of the mushroom. Which quiche did people eat the most of? Identify the fractions in numerical order from greatest to least.(1 point)
Responses
5/8, 9/16, 2/4: The cheese quiche was eaten the most.
9/16, 5/8, 2/4: The spinach quiche was eaten the most.
16, 8, 4: The cheese quiche was eaten the most.
10/16, 8/16, 9/16: The cheese quiche was eaten the most
To determine which quiche people ate the most, we need to compare the fractions of the portions that were consumed.
The cheese quiche was cut into 8 equal pieces, and 5 pieces were eaten. Therefore, the fraction is 5/8.
The spinach quiche was cut into 16 equal pieces, and 9 pieces were eaten. Therefore, the fraction is 9/16.
The mushroom quiche was cut into 4 equal pieces, and 2 pieces were eaten. Therefore, the fraction is 2/4, which can be simplified to 1/2.
To find the fractions in descending order:
9/16, 5/8, 1/2
Therefore, the quiche that people ate the most of is the spinach quiche.
is that correct
Apologies for the oversight in the previous response. Let's compare the fractions in ascending order to find the correct answer.
The fractions in ascending order are:
1/2, 5/8, 9/16
Therefore, people ate the most of the spinach quiche.
