7516 or 41116 miles

Explanation:

Using the equation, D=rt where D is distance, r is rate, and t is time.

D=(212)(318)
Rewrite fractions from mixed fractions to improper:

D=(32)(258)
Multiply straight across:

D=7516
Convert to mixed fraction if you want, 16 goes into 75 4 times with a remainder of 11 so:
D=41116
