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, Trey completed 0.875.
Identify the descending numeric order of the laps completed.
To determine the descending numeric order of the laps completed, we need to convert all the fractions into decimals.
Sara completed 4/5 of the laps, which is equal to 0.8.
Jamie completed 5/8 of the laps, which is equal to 0.625.
Keenan completed 5/9 of the laps, which is equal to 0.555.
Maya completed 0.833 laps.
Trey completed 0.875 laps.
Now, let's arrange these numbers in descending order:
0.875
0.833
0.8
0.625
0.555
Therefore, the descending numeric order of the laps completed is: Trey, Maya, Sara, Jamie, Keenan.
