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.
