If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes (1 hour), his rate is 5 miles per hour. Therefore, if he continues to run at the same rate for 3 hours, he will run 5 miles/hour * 3 hours = 15 miles.
So the correct answer is 15 miles.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we can use the equation: distance = rate × time.
Chase's rate is 5 miles per 60 minutes. To convert this to hours, we divide by 60 since there are 60 minutes in one hour. So, Chase's rate is 5 miles / 60 minutes = 1/12 miles per minute.
Now, we need to find out how many minutes are in 3 hours. Since there are 60 minutes in one hour, 3 hours is equal to 3 × 60 = 180 minutes.
Finally, we can calculate the distance Chase will run in 3 hours using the formula distance = rate × time:
distance = (1/12 miles per minute) × (180 minutes)
distance = (1/12) × 180
distance = 15 miles
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we can multiply his running rate by the number of hours he runs.
Here, his running rate is 5 miles in 60 minutes, which can be written as 5 miles per 60 minutes.
To convert this rate to miles per hour, we need to know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. Therefore, we can divide 60 minutes by 60 to get 1 hour. Dividing the number of miles (5) by the number of hours (1) gives us a running rate of 5 miles per hour.
Now, we can multiply his running rate (5 miles per hour) by the number of hours (3) to find out how far he will run in 3 hours.
5 miles/hour * 3 hours = 15 miles
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate.
