To calculate the total time it will take Miguel to reach his destination, we need to determine how long the remaining distance will take him.
If Miguel has already driven 2/3 of the total distance, then he has 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 of the distance left to drive.
Since he has already driven for 4 hours, we can set up a proportion to find out how long the total drive will take: (time driven) / (distance driven) = (total time) / (total distance).
The time driven is 4 hours, the distance driven is 2/3 of the total distance, and the total time is what we're trying to find.
Using cross-multiplication, we have:
(4 hours) * (1/3 total distance) = (total time) * (total distance).
(4/3) total distance = (total time) * (total distance).
Dividing both sides by (total distance), we get:
(4/3) = (total time).
So, it will take Miguel (4/3) = 1.33 hours to drive the remaining distance and reach his destination.
Miguel is returning from a trip. In 4 hours, he has driven 2/3 of the social distance. He wants to know how long the total drive will take. At this rate, what is the total time it will take him to reach his destination
