Answer:

700 miles

Explanation:

Given:

Scale of the map is
(1)/(2)\textrm{ in}=50\textrm{ mi}


1\textrm{ in}= (50)/((1)/(2))=50* 2=100\textrm{ mi}

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

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

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