To calculate the cost for the taxi service that charges $1.25 for every mile traveled, we can multiply the distance traveled by the rate per mile.
1. For **5 miles**:
Cost = 5 miles × $1.25/mile = $6.25
2. For **8 miles**:
Cost = 8 miles × $1.25/mile = $10.00
3. For **20 miles**:
Cost = 20 miles × $1.25/mile = $25.00
**Observation**: This taxi service charges a fee for every mile traveled, but does not charge a fee to get in the cab. Therefore, the correct statement is:
**This taxi service charges a fee for every mile traveled, but does not charge a fee to get in the cab.**
