If Miguel has driven 2/3 of the total distance in 4 hours, then he has 1/3 of the distance left to drive.
Since he drove 2/3 of the distance in 4 hours, this means that 2/3 of the total time has passed.
To find the total time it will take him to reach his destination, we can set up a proportion:
(2/3) / (4 hours) = (1/3) / (x hours)
Cross multiplying, we get:
2/3 * x = 4 * 1/3
2x/3 = 4/3
2x = 4
x = 4 / 2
x = 2
So, the total time it will take Miguel to reach his destination is 2 hours.
Therefore, the correct option is:
2 hours.
