Solution

To find the total length of Abdul's drive, we need to understand that the 12 miles he has driven so far represents three-fourths (or 75%) of the total distance.

Step 1: We know that 3/4 of the total distance equals 12 miles.

Step 2: To find the total distance (let's call it 'd'), we can set up the equation 3/4d = 12.

Step 3: To solve for 'd', we can divide both sides of the equation by 3/4. Doing this, we get d = 12 / (3/4).

Step 4: Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get d = 12 * (4/3) = 16.

So, the total length of Abdul's drive is 16 miles.
