Final answer:

Jordan had the lowest score at -5, followed by Min, Rafael, Serena, Charlotte, and Devon. Serena had a better score than Rafael, Min took 66 shots while Charlotte took 71 shots, and a score of 70 rounds is denoted by the integer 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to order the golf scores from least to greatest, determine which player had the better score between Serena and Rafael, and calculate the total shots taken by Min and Charlotte. The par for the golf course is 70.

  • Jordan: -5
  • Charlotte: +1
  • Serena: -2
  • Devon: +3
  • Min: -4
  • Rafael: -3

Ordered from least to greatest the scores are Jordan (-5), Min (-4), Rafael (-3), Serena (-2), Charlotte (+1), Devon (+3). Serena had the better score compared to Rafael because her score (-2) is closer to the 0 than Rafael's -3. To calculate the shots taken we add or subtract the players' scores from the par. Thus, Min took 70 - 4 = 66 shots, and Charlotte took 70 + 1 = 71 shots. If a golfer took 70 rounds to finish his round, this score is represented by the integer 0 because it matches the par.
