To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate, we need to determine how many 60-minute blocks are in 3 hours.
Since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, we have 3 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 180 minutes.
Since Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, we can set up a proportion:
5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 180 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
60 * x = 5 * 180
60x = 900
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 how far Chase will run in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate, you need to use the information given about his running speed.
The information tells us that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
To find how far he will run in 3 hours, you can set up a proportion.
If 5 miles is equivalent to 60 minutes of running, then we can set up the equation:
5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 180 minutes
To solve for x, you can cross-multiply:
5 * 180 = 60 * x
900 = 60x
Now, divide both sides by 60 to solve for x:
900 / 60 = x
x = 15
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate.
So the correct answer is 15 miles.
