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 find the descending numeric order of the laps completed, we need to convert each fraction to a decimal form and then arrange them in descending order.
Sara completed 4/5 of the laps, which is equivalent to 4/5 * 20 = 16 laps.
Jamie completed 5/8 of the laps, which is equivalent to 5/8 * 20 = 12.5 laps.
Keenan completed 5/9 of the laps, which is equivalent to 5/9 * 20 = 11.11 laps.
Maya completed 0.833 * 20 = 16.66 laps.
Trey completed 0.875 * 20 = 17.5 laps.
So, in descending order, the laps completed are as follows:
Trey > Maya > Sara > Jamie > Keenan
