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?
Options:
0.067 miles
1/4 miles
15 miles
36 miles
If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, his rate of running is 5 miles/60 minutes = 1/12 miles per minute.
Therefore, in 3 hours, he will run 3 hours * 60 minutes = 180 minutes.
So, he will run 1/12 miles/minute * 180 minutes = 15 miles. Answer: \boxed{15 \text{ miles}}.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to calculate the distance he runs per hour and then multiply it by 3.
We are given that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes. To find his running rate in miles per hour, we can set up the following proportion:
5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 60 minutes
To solve for x, we cross-multiply:
5 miles * 60 minutes = 60 minutes * x miles
300 miles = 60x
Dividing both sides by 60, we find that x = 5 miles per hour.
Therefore, Chase runs at a rate of 5 miles per hour.
To find out how far he will run in 3 hours, we multiply his running rate by 3:
5 miles/hour * 3 hours = 15 miles
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours.
The correct option is: 15 miles.
To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we need to calculate his running rate per hour, based on the given information.
We know that Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, or 1 hour. So, his running rate is 5 miles per hour.
To calculate how far he will run in 3 hours, we multiply his running rate by the number of hours he runs:
Running rate per hour (5 miles) x Number of hours (3 hours) = Total distance
5 miles per hour x 3 hours = 15 miles
Therefore, if Chase continues to run at the same rate, he will run 15 miles in 3 hours.
So, the correct answer is: 15 miles.
