To put the laps completed in descending numeric order, we need to convert all the fractions and decimal numbers into a common form. Let's do this conversion:
Sara completed 4/5 of the total 20 laps:
4/5 * 20 = <<4/5*20=16>>16 laps.
Jamie completed 5/8 of the total 20 laps:
5/8 * 20 = <<5/8*20=12.5>>12.5 laps.
Keenan completed 5/9 of the total 20 laps:
5/9 * 20 = <<5/9*20=11.11111111111111>>11.11 laps (rounded to two decimal places).
Maya completed 0.833 of the total 20 laps:
0.833 * 20 = <<0.833*20=16.66>>16.66 laps (rounded to two decimal places).
Trey completed 0.875 of the total 20 laps:
0.875 * 20 = <<0.875*20=17.5>>17.5 laps.
Now, let's order these values in descending order:
1. Trey completed 17.5 laps.
2. Sara completed 16 laps.
3. Maya completed 16.66 laps.
4. Jamie completed 12.5 laps.
5. Keenan completed 11.11 laps.
Therefore, the descending numeric order of laps completed is:
17.5, 16.66, 16, 12.5, 11.11.
