Answer:

You can make it to Splash Mountain

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The distance you need to cover to Splash Mountain is 1 3/5 miles, and the time you have to arrive there is in 7 3/4 minutes.

Also, from the question,

You are able to cover 2/7 of a mile every minute, that is

Your speed is 2/7 mile per minute

To determine if you can make it to Splash Mountain, we will determine the distance you can cover, traveling at this speed of 2/7 mile per minute for 7 3/4 minutes. If the distance you can cover is more than 1 3/5 miles, then you can make it; but if the distance you can cover is less than 1 3/5 miles, then you cannot make it.

From

Speed = Distance / Time

Distance = Speed × Time

Speed = 2/7 mile/minute

Time = 7 3/4 minutes = 31/4 minutes

∴Distance = 2/7 × 31/4

Distance = 31/14 miles = 2 3/14 miles

The distance you can cover traveling 2/7 of a mile every minute for 7 3/4 minutes is 2 3/14 miles, since this is more than 1 3/5 miles, then you can make it to Splash Mountain.

Hence, you can make it to Splash Mountain.
