To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours at the same rate, we first need to calculate his running speed in miles per hour. Since he runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, we can convert this to miles per hour by dividing 5 by 60.
5 miles / 60 minutes = 0.0833 miles per minute
Now, we can calculate how far Chase will run in 3 hours by multiplying his running speed by the number of minutes in 3 hours, which is 180 minutes (60 minutes per hour x 3 hours).
0.0833 miles per minute x 180 minutes = 14.9996 miles
Therefore, Chase will run approximately 15 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate.
To determine how far Chase will run in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate, we can use the given information that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
We can set up a ratio to compare the distance Chase runs to the time it takes him.
First, calculate the rate at which Chase runs:
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 5 miles / 60 minutes
To determine how far Chase will run in 3 hours, multiply the rate by the time in hours:
Distance = Rate * Time
Distance = (5 miles / 60 minutes) * 180 minutes
To simplify the calculation, convert 180 minutes into three hours:
Distance = (5 miles / 60 minutes) * 3 hours * 60 minutes per hour
Cancel out the units to simplify the calculation:
Distance = (5 miles / 1) * (3/1) * (60/60)
Distance = 5 * 3 * 1
Distance = 15 miles
Therefore, if Chase continues to run at the same rate, he will run 15 miles in 3 hours.
