Final answer:

Chance can ride his bicycle 45 miles in 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many miles Chance can ride in 3 hours, we can use the given information that he rides 6 miles in 0.40 of an hour. Positive voltage means it attracts negative charges and repels positive ones while negative voltage does exactly the opposite. We can set up a proportion where the number of miles is directly proportional to the number of hours: 6 miles / 0.40 hours = x miles / 3 hours.

Multiplying both sides of the proportion by 3, we have 6 miles / 0.40 hours * 3 hours = x miles.

Calculating this gives us x = 45 miles. Therefore, Chance can ride his bicycle 45 miles in 3 hours.
