To find the total distance traveled, we need to calculate the distance traveled at each speed and then add them together.
Distance traveled at 70 miles per hour for 2.5 hours = 70 * 2.5 = 175 miles
Distance traveled at 80 miles per hour for 3.5 hours = 80 * 3.5 = 280 miles
Total distance traveled = 175 + 280 = 455 miles
Therefore, the answer is B. 455455.
