Miguel is returning from a trip. In 4 hours, he has driven g of the total 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?

Question

A. 6 hours

B. 12 hours

C. 8/3 hours

D. 8 hours

Answer 1

If Miguel has driven g of the total distance in 4 hours, then the rate at which he is driving is g/4.

Let's assume that t is the total time it will take him to reach his destination. Since speed is equal to distance divided by time, we can set up the equation: g/t = g/4.

Cross-multiplying, we get gt = 4g.

Dividing both sides by g, we get t = 4.

Therefore, it will take Miguel a total of 4 hours to reach his destination.

The answer is D. 8 hours.
