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?
If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, then his rate is 5 miles per 60 minutes, or 5/60 = 1/12 miles per minute.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, his rate is also 1/12 miles per minute * 60 minutes per hour = 5 miles per hour.
Therefore, in 3 hours, he will run 5 miles per hour * 3 hours = <<5*3=15>>15 miles. Answer: \boxed{15}.
To calculate the distance Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to know that he runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
Now, we need to convert 3 hours to minutes since Chase will be running for 3 hours continuously.
We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so to find the number of minutes in 3 hours, we multiply 3 by 60.
3 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 180 minutes
So, Chase will run for 180 minutes.
Since Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, we can set up a proportion to find out how far he will run in 180 minutes.
5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 180 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
60 * x = 5 * 180
60x = 900
Dividing both sides by 60:
x = 900 / 60
x = 15
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 if he continues running at the same rate, we need to calculate his average speed.
We know that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes. To calculate his average speed, we divide the total distance by the total time:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 5 miles / 60 minutes
Simplifying the calculation:
Speed = 1/12 miles per minute
Now that we know Chase's average speed is 1/12 miles per minute, we can calculate how far he will run in 3 hours.
There are 60 minutes in one hour, so in 3 hours, there are 3 * 60 = 180 minutes.
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = (1/12 miles per minute) * 180 minutes
Calculating the result:
Distance = 15 miles
Therefore, if Chase continues to run at the same rate, he will run 15 miles in 3 hours.
