To find the total distance Sophie travels from Chicago to Albuquerque and how many more miles she has to drive to reach Los Angeles, we can break it down as follows:

  1. Distance from Chicago to Kansas City: 715 miles
  2. Distance from Kansas City to Albuquerque: 1,120 miles

Total distance from Chicago to Albuquerque: \[ 715 \text{ miles} + 1,120 \text{ miles} = 1,835 \text{ miles} \]

Total distance from Chicago to Los Angeles: 2,020 miles

To find out how many more miles she has to drive to reach Los Angeles: \[ 2,020 \text{ miles} - 1,835 \text{ miles} = 185 \text{ miles} \]

Thus, the answers are:

  • Sophie travels 1,835 miles from Chicago to Albuquerque.
  • She has 185 miles left to reach Los Angeles.
