To represent the given scenario mathematically, we need to account for the initial pickup charge and the cost per mile.
The total cost \( C \) of the Uber ride can be expressed as: \[ C = 5 + 1.50 \times m \]
Where:
- \( 5 \) is the initial pickup charge.
- \( 1.50 \) is the cost per mile.
- \( m \) represents the number of miles driven.
So, filling in the expression with the numbers would look like:
Response area: \( 5 + 1.50 \times m \)
