To find the total time it will take Miguel to reach his destination, we can set up a proportion using the given information:
4 hours corresponds to 23 of the total distance.
Let's represent the total time as T. The proportion can be written as:
4 hours / 23 distance = T hours / 1 total distance
Cross-multiplying, we get:
4 hours * 1 total distance = 23 distance * T hours
4T = 23
Dividing both sides by 4, we find that:
T = 23 / 4
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
T = 5.75 hours
Therefore, the total time it will take Miguel to reach his destination is 5.75 hours.
