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?

1 answer

If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, his rate is 5/60 = 1/12 miles per minute.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, in 3 hours, he will run 60 x 3 = <<60*3=180>>180 minutes.
Therefore, he will run 180 x 1/12 = <<180*1/12=15>>15 miles. Answer: \boxed{15}.
