Answer:

It is not reasonable to say they can carry 15 feet with each person taking only one turn

Explanation:

Kevin=5 feet

Rachel=3 feet further than Kevin=(3+5)=8 feet

Daniel=half as far as Rachel=(1/2)×8=4 feet

If each person takes one turn;

Total distance covered=(Kevin's distance+Rachel's distance+Daniel's distance)

Replacing;

Total distance covered=(5+8+4)=17 feet

17 feet≠15 feet

It is not reasonable to say they can carry 15 feet with each person taking only one turn
