Driving 70 mph, it takes Alicia 2 hours to reach the airport to go on a vacation. It then takes her 3 hours to get to her destination with the jet traveling at a speed of 400 mph. How many miles does Alicia travel to get to her destination?

She has to travel 1340 miles. This is because traveling 2 hours at 70 mph means she went 140 miles (70x2) and traveling 3 hours at 400 mph means she went 1200 miles (400x3). Altogether, this means she went 1340 miles, because 140+1200 is 1340.
