Answer 1

Answer:

700 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale of the map is $\frac{1}{2}\textrm{ in}=50\textrm{ mi}$

∴ $1\textrm{ in}= \frac{50}{\frac{1}{2}}=50\times 2=100\textrm{ mi}$

Distance of Susan from mount Shasha on the map is 7 inch.

Therefore, Number of miles = $7\times 100=700\textrm{ mi}$

Hence, Susan must travel 700 miles to reach her destination.
