Question

Kevin can carry a basket 5 feet Rachel can carry it three feet farther than Kevin Daniel can carry the basket half as far as Rachel is it responsible to say that they can carry it 15 feet with each person taking only one turn

Answer 1

Yes. Kevin can carry the basket 5 ft. Rachel can carry it 3 feet more than Kevin (5+3=8). Daniel can carry the basket half the length of Rachel (8/2=4). The total distance they can carry the basket is 5+8+4=17. 17 is greater than 15, so yes they can carry it 15 feet.
