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) Responses 15 miles 15 miles 0.067 miles 0.067 miles 14 miles Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction miles 36 miles
If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, then he runs at a rate of 5/60 = 1/12 miles per minute.
In 3 hours, there are 3 * 60 = <<3*60=180>>180 minutes.
Therefore, Chase will run 180 * 1/12 = <<180*1/12=15>>15 miles. So the answer is 15 miles.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours at the same rate, we can use a simple ratio.
Given that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes:
We can set up a proportion: 5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 180 minutes.
To find x, we can cross multiply:
5 miles * 180 minutes = 60 minutes * x miles.
The calculation is:
900 miles * minutes = 60 minutes * x miles.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 60, we have:
900 miles = x miles.
Therefore, Chase will run 900 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate.
However, please note that the answer seems unlikely, as it is an extraordinarily high distance for a human to run in just 3 hours.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours at the same rate, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
We know that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes. We want to find out how many miles he will run in 3 hours (which is 180 minutes).
Let's set up the proportion:
5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 180 minutes
To solve for x (the distance Chase will run in 3 hours), we can cross-multiply:
5 * 180 = x * 60
900 = 60x
To solve for x, we need to isolate it by dividing both sides of the equation by 60:
900 / 60 = x
15 = x
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate.
