Question

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

Answer 1

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.
