To find the total distance traveled, we need to add the distance traveled from Valley town to partway and the distance traveled from partway to Mountain City.

The distance traveled from Valley town to partway is 1 3/4 (or 7/4) partway.
The distance traveled from partway to Mountain City is 2 1/5 (or 11/5) miles.

To find the total distance, we add these two distances:

7/4 + 11/5

To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20.

So, we convert both fractions to have a denominator of 20:

(7/4)(5/5) = 35/20
(11/5)(4/4) = 44/20

Now, we can add the fractions:

35/20 + 44/20 = 79/20

The total distance traveled is 79/20 miles.

To simplify this fraction, we can express it as a mixed number:

79 รท 20 = 3 remainder 19
So, the answer is 3 19/20.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C. 3 19/20 miles.
