1 answer

If Miguel has driven 23 out of the total distance in 4 hours, then he drives 23/4 miles every hour.
To find the total time it will take him to reach his destination, we can set up the equation: Total distance = (23/4) * Total time.
Since Miguel wants to know the total time, we can isolate the Total time variable by dividing both sides of the equation by (23/4): Total time = Total distance / (23/4).
Simplifying, we can multiply both sides of the equation by (4/23): Total time = (Total distance * 4) / 23.
Therefore, the answer is C. 8/3 hours.
