To find out how far Chase will run in 3 hours, we can use the given information that he runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
To determine the distance he will run in 3 hours, we first need to calculate how many minutes are in 3 hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can multiply 3 hours by 60 minutes.
3 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 180 minutes
Now, we can use the rate at which Chase runs to determine the distance. We know that he runs 5 miles in 60 minutes.
Using a proportion, we can set up the equation:
5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 180 minutes
To solve for x, we cross-multiply:
60 minutes * x miles = 5 miles * 180 minutes
60x = 900
x = 900 / 60
x = 15
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate.
