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?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0A0.067 miles %0D%0A0.067 miles %0D%0A%0D%0A15 miles%0D%0A15 miles%0D%0A%0D%0A36 miles%0D%0A36 miles%0D%0A%0D%0A14 miles
Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, which means he runs at a rate of 5 miles/60 minutes = 1/12 miles per minute.
If Chase continues to run at the same rate for 3 hours, which is equivalent to 3 hours * (60 minutes/hour) = 180 minutes, he would run (1/12 mile/minute) * 180 minutes = 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 given information that he runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
To determine the distance he will run in 3 hours, we first need to calculate how many minutes are in 3 hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can multiply 3 hours by 60 minutes.
3 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 180 minutes
Now, we can use the rate at which Chase runs to determine the distance. We know that he runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
Using a proportion, we can set up the equation:
5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 180 minutes
To solve for x, we cross-multiply:
60 minutes * x miles = 5 miles * 180 minutes
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 the distance Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to multiply the distance he runs in 1 hour (which is 5 miles) by the number of hours he runs (which is 3).
So, to get the answer, we simply multiply 5 miles by 3 hours.
5 miles/hour * 3 hours = 15 miles
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate.
