Okay, let's break this down step-by-step:

* Meghan spent the same amount, m, each day this week at the cafeteria

* She spent money at the cafeteria each of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

* So in total she spent money for 5 days

* Therefore, the total amount of money Meghan spent this week is:

5 * m

So the expression that represents the amount Meghan spent this week is:

5 * m

The other options do not represent spending the same amount m each of 5 days. So the correct choice is:

5 * m
