If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, then he runs at a rate of 5 miles per 60 minutes.
To find out how far he will run in 3 hours, we need to convert 3 hours to minutes.
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, 3 hours is equal to 3 * 60 = 180 minutes.
Now we can find out how many miles Chase will run in 3 hours by dividing the number of minutes by the rate at which he runs:
180 minutes / 60 minutes = 3
So, Chase will run 5 miles * 3 = 15 miles in 3 hours.
Therefore, the correct answer is 15 miles.
