If Chase runs 5 miles and 60 minutes, how far will he run in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate?
A. 1/4 miles
B. 36 miles
C. 15 miles
D. 0.067 miles
Since Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, his rate is 5 miles/60 minutes = 1/12 miles per minute.
In 3 hours, there are 3 * 60 = <<3*60=180>>180 minutes.
Therefore, Chase will run 1/12 * 180 = <<1/12*180=15>>15 miles if he continues to run at the same rate.
Thus, the answer is C. 15 miles.
To find the distance Chase will run in 3 hours, we can use the formula:
Distance = Rate × Time
Chase's rate is 5 miles per 60 minutes, which can be simplified to 1 mile per 12 minutes.
To find the distance he will run in 3 hours, we first need to convert 3 hours into minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 3 hours is equal to 3 × 60 = 180 minutes.
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
Distance = 1 mile/12 minutes × 180 minutes
Simplifying this calculation, we get:
Distance = 15 miles.
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours. The correct answer is C. 15 miles.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours if he continues at the same rate, we need to determine the rate at which he is running.
We know that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes. To find his rate, we can divide the number of miles by the number of minutes:
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 5 miles / 60 minutes
Simplifying this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 5:
Rate = 1 mile / 12 minutes
So Chase's rate is 1 mile every 12 minutes.
Now, we need to calculate how many miles he will run in 3 hours.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, there are 3 x 60 = 180 minutes in 3 hours.
To find out how many miles Chase will run, we can multiply the rate by the number of minutes:
Distance = Rate x Time
Distance = 1 mile / 12 minutes x 180 minutes
Simplifying this expression, we can cancel out the "minutes" units:
Distance = 1 mile x (180/12)
Distance = 1 mile x 15
Distance = 15 miles
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles if he continues running at the same rate for 3 hours.
The correct answer is C. 15 miles.
