In 4 hours, Miguel has already driven 2/3 of the total distance, which means he has 1/3 left to drive.
Since 2/3 is equivalent to 8/12, we can say that Miguel has already driven 8/12 of the total distance in 4 hours.
Now, if he has 1/3 left to drive and he has already driven 8/12, it means that 1/3 is equal to 4/12.
So, the total distance will take 12 hours to reach his destination.
