A track team needed to run or jog 20 laps for their practice. Of the total 20 laps, Sara completed 45\frac{4}{5}, Jamie completed 58\frac{5}{8}, Keenan completed 59\frac{5}{9}, Maya completed 0.833 , and Trey completed 0.875 . Identify the descending numeric order of the laps completed. Be sure to input the original form of each number. (2 points) Item 8 Item 9 Item 10 ftem 11 liem 12 Item 13 Rem 14

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Each team member's completion is given in different forms: fractions and decimals.
2. We need to compare these values to determine the descending order.
3. The original forms of the numbers should be used in the final answer.

STEP 2

1. Convert all numbers to a common form for comparison.
2. Compare the numbers.
3. List the numbers in descending order.

STEP 3

Convert all numbers to decimals for easy comparison.
- Sara: 45=0.8\frac{4}{5} = 0.8 - Jamie: 58=0.625\frac{5}{8} = 0.625 - Keenan: 590.5556\frac{5}{9} \approx 0.5556 - Maya: 0.8330.833 - Trey: 0.8750.875

STEP 4

Compare the decimal values to determine the order from largest to smallest.
- Trey: 0.8750.875 - Maya: 0.8330.833 - Sara: 0.80.8 - Jamie: 0.6250.625 - Keenan: 0.55560.5556

STEP 5

List the original forms of the numbers in descending order based on the comparison.
1. Trey: 0.8750.875
2. Maya: 0.8330.833
3. Sara: 45\frac{4}{5}
4. Jamie: 58\frac{5}{8}
5. Keenan: 59\frac{5}{9}

The descending numeric order of the laps completed is:
1. Trey: 0.8750.875
2. Maya: 0.8330.833
3. Sara: 45\frac{4}{5}
4. Jamie: 58\frac{5}{8}
5. Keenan: 59\frac{5}{9}
