To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to calculate his running rate per hour and multiply it by 3.
Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
To find Chase's hourly rate, we divide 5 miles by 1 hour:
5 miles / 1 hour = 5 miles/hour
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we multiply his hourly rate by 3:
5 miles/hour * 3 hours = 15 miles
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we can use the information given: Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
First, let's figure out how many miles Chase runs in 1 hour. Since he runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, we can calculate the miles per minute by dividing 5 by 60:
5 / 60 = 0.0833 miles per minute
Now, to find out how far he will run in 3 hours, we need to multiply the miles per minute by the number of minutes in 3 hours, which is 180 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour and 3 hours x 60 minutes = 180 minutes):
0.0833 miles per minute x 180 minutes = 14.994 miles
Since we know that Chase will run at the same rate, we can round this to the nearest mile. Therefore, Chase will run approximately 15 miles in 3 hours.
So, the correct answer is: 15 miles.
