To calculate how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to figure out how far he runs in one hour and then multiply that by 3.
Since Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, we can find how far he runs in one minute by dividing 5 by 60.
Therefore, Chase runs 0.0833 miles in one minute (or approximately 0.067 miles).
To find how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we multiply 0.067 miles by 3.
Hence, Chase will run approximately 0.201 miles in 3 hours.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to determine his rate of running. We are given that he runs 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 multiply it by the conversion factor of 60 minutes per hour.
5 miles / 60 minutes = (5/60) miles per minute * (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 5/1 miles per hour.
So, Chase runs at a rate of 5 miles per hour.
To find out how far he will run in 3 hours, we simply multiply his rate of running by the number of hours:
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.
