if Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, how far will he run in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate? (1 point))
1/4 milles
O 36 miles
0.067 miles
O 15 miles
If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, then he runs at a rate of 5 miles/60 minutes = 1/12 miles per minute.
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, Chase would run 1/12 miles per minute * 60 minutes = 5/12 miles in 1 hour.
Therefore, in 3 hours, Chase would run 5/12 miles per hour * 3 hours = 15/12 miles = 1.25 miles.
Thus, Chase would run 1.25 miles in 3 hours.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to determine his rate of running. We know that he runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
To find his rate, we can divide the distance by the time:
5 miles รท 60 minutes = 0.0833 miles per minute.
Now, we can find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours by multiplying his rate by the number of minutes in 3 hours:
0.0833 miles per minute x 180 minutes = 14.994 miles.
Rounding to the nearest mile, Chase will run approximately 15 miles in 3 hours.
So the answer is: 15 miles.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to determine his running rate per hour and then multiply it by the number of hours. We know that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
To find Chase's running rate per hour, we need to calculate how many miles he runs in 1 hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, and Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, we divide 5 by 60.
Chase's running rate per minute is 5 miles / 60 minutes = 1/12 mile per minute.
To convert this rate to miles per hour, we need to multiply it by 60 minutes, as there are 60 minutes in an hour.
Chase's running rate per hour is: (1/12 mile per minute) * 60 minutes = 5 miles per hour.
Now that we know Chase's running rate per hour is 5 miles, we can multiply it by the number of hours he will run, which in this case is 3 hours.
Chase will run: 5 miles per hour * 3 hours = 15 miles.
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate. So the correct answer is "O 15 miles".
