Cost per mile P- total cost (C) divided by total miles (M). 
P= C/M

Answer:

A relationship in algebraic equation form is, \(P = \frac{C}{M}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement:

Cost per mile is calculated by dividing total cost by total miles.

Using the notation:

P represents the Cost per mile

C represents the total cost

M represents the total miles

"dividing" means \(\div\)

"dividing total cost(C) by total miles(M)" translated to \(C \div M = \frac{C}{M}\)

then;

Cost per mile(P) is calculated by:

\(P = \frac{C}{M}\)

Therefore, a relationship in algebraic equation form is, \(P = \frac{C}{M}\)
