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
A. 15 miles
B.36 miles
C.1/4 miles
D.0.067 miles
If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, his rate will be 5 miles / 60 minutes = 1/12 miles per minute.
In 3 hours, there are 3 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 180 minutes.
Therefore, Chase will run 1/12 miles/minute x 180 minutes = 180/12 = 15 miles.
The correct answer is A. 15 miles.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours if he continues at the same rate, we need to calculate the distance he covers in one hour, and then multiply that by 3.
Since Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, his rate is 5 miles/60 minutes.
To find his rate in one hour, we can multiply his rate by 60/60, which simplifies to 1.
So, Chase runs 5 miles in 1 hour.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we multiply his rate of 5 miles/hour by 3.
5 miles/hour * 3 hours = 15 miles.
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours.
The correct answer is A. 15 miles.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to determine the rate at which he runs and then multiply it by the time.
Given that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, we can calculate his rate by dividing the distance by the time:
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 5 miles / 60 minutes
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Rate = 1 mile / 12 minutes
This means that Chase runs at a rate of 1 mile in 12 minutes.
To determine how far he will run in 3 hours, we need to convert the time to minutes because the rate is given in terms of minutes.
3 hours = 3 x 60 minutes = 180 minutes
Now, we can calculate the distance Chase will run in 3 hours by multiplying his rate by the time:
Distance = Rate x Time
Distance = 1 mile / 12 minutes x 180 minutes
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Distance = 1 mile x 180 / 12
Distance = 15 miles
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles if he continues to run at the same rate for 3 hours.
The correct answer is A. 15 miles.
