Levi is taking an Uber while he is on vacation. The uber charges $5 to pick him up and then $1.50 per mile that they drive him. Fill in the expression with the correct numbers to represent the given scenario. Let m s represent miles driven. 

5
1.50
6.50
10

1 answer

To represent the total cost of Levi's Uber ride, we can form the expression based on the given charges. The total cost \( C \) can be represented by the following expression:

\[ C = 5 + 1.50m \]

Where:

  • \( 5 \) represents the base pick-up charge,
  • \( 1.50 \) represents the cost per mile,
  • \( m \) represents the number of miles driven.

So the complete expression is:

\[ C = 5 + 1.50m \]

If you're looking for specific numbers, the expression itself already has the essential values included. If you want to calculate the total cost for specific values of \( m \), you can substitute \( m \) with any number of miles driven. For example:

  • For \( m = 0 \) miles: \( C = 5 + 1.50(0) = 5 \)
  • For \( m = 1 \) mile: \( C = 5 + 1.50(1) = 6.50 \)
  • For \( m = 4 \) miles: \( C = 5 + 1.50(4) = 11 \)
